"The new contemporary reading of the Paraná rainforest in Misiones and the depiction of its universes conform the main imagery and core concept of my work. I choose insects that undergo great transformations such as butterflies, cicadas and dragonflies, on which I set the great metaphor of the transformation every human being aspires to, i.e., the wish to redefine ourselves and to be able to change. In my career, I have used these concepts in several exhibitions and installations. At present, I am doing research on my personal archaeology and genealogy, taking my childhood memories and transforming them into great participative installations that involve all the senses. I am interested in working with spaces that promote personal introspection and generate new landscapes with elements from the landscape itself.
