This work can be interpreted as a series of wall-corner mind installations, paintings in space or architectural moments. Made out of multi-colored yarn, they are intrinsic representations of the three alchemical elements that have made me the person I am today: my Mexican culture, Buddhism practice, and their interrelationship which has influenced my art-making. I create string installations comprising natural-dyed, colored wool yarn from Teotitlán del Valle,Oaxaca- Mexico. I went beyond the aesthetics of my work to also explore the energy of new materials. I do not plan how the pieces are going to turn out. Rather, each work emerges through the making. In other words, the process is more important than the outcome. The colors and material of the pieces may reflect my origins, but the form of the installation indicates the form of my mind. Since the mind does not have shape or color, I am essentially creating physical manifestations of it through my art.

ARTIST STATEMENT In this civilization which thrives on narcissism, it can be difficult to engage in serious introspection long enough to create something that is both meaningful and consistent. My practice as an artist is inseparable from this reflection. I credit it for allowing me to dig deeper and expand not only as an artist, but as a person. I have been fascinated with the ¨self¨ since my early practice involving fractal geometry. It led me to question the universe and its interconnectedness. That work took a radical turn in 2017, when I started to delve into my sense of self and spirituality through performance art. To do that, I created and incarnated three characters to explore aspects of my physical self and the emotions that come with it.
