I understand creation as a way for reflecting on the relationships I maintain with the territory, exploring and pondering on concepts like landscape and identity. Using as inspiration - and questioning - diverse western epistemic fields such as geography, history, literature and astronomy, I intend that my work displays new ways for thought, feeling and imagination, serving as a space of encounter between different fields of knowledge. My work ranges photography, video, performance and installation. I am currently working on my project Tropical tropisms, in which I research how creation can display ways to (re)imagine tropical regions.
