When I started to work on this exhibition, one thing was very clear to me, it was essential to create pieces that can offer different views which can be interchanged, like changing our minds when issues are presented in another form, and offering another possibility. The wall sculptures and paintings are displayed in groups and can be substituted, shifted, and rotated.

I admire architecture, how space carries past and present, dialogue and silence, inclusion and exclusion, dissonance and sonance. All my artworks are an extension of this experience.

I created the mixed media pieces to explore reflection and transparency---mirroring back and onto ourselves. The space is not illusionistic, there are transparencies through the layering of color, set with spatial sensitivity. I intended the works to refrain from playful and whimsical rhythms, wondering how each work can stand alone, and also offer an alternative, abandoning preconceptions, seeing that there is much more than one view and one story.

My perception of space is without place in time, with distorted geometric forms, perceptions and the mercurial character of the transparencies.

Most of these pieces suggest certain solitary contemplation, with unruly behavior of uneven lines, color, form, and gesture.

The artworks can have different combinations, changing compositions and widening our vision, like we do through reflection, and public conscientiousness, we change our perspectives. I wanted to investigate different outcomes. I know that single vision strips people of their dignity and makes it easy to become alienated from others. It shutters the essence of being, diminishes who we are, and debilitates our relationship with the external world.

These pieces are not precise or literal, they are pauses from noise and distorted realities which create, not a single narrative, but rather a field of vision and ideas.
