Disassemble Series II, III and IV, 2018-2020. (Life Series).
These unique three-dimensional hand-constructed works in this series are part of my continuous exploration of portraiture as a reflection of the energy and complexity of the human being. As when we see our face reflected in running water, it’s never static—we are constantly moving, our states of mind shifting and evolving; we are like a perfect machine creating moments in our life.
Motivated by my desire to push the boundaries of traditional 2-dimensional photographic portraits, I deconstruct and then reconstruct my work by adorning and interweaving a variety of items such as corn husks, agave cactus fibers, and market bags among others, in order to create a transformation into a 3-dimensional work of art.
