Levitar

In other spaces and other bodies

My work is inspired by the infallible tension between the natural and the cultural, between the physical and the symbolic. I attempt to establish ways of inhabiting the world, even in the creation of alternate realities or environments that propose a metaphorical habitation.

Civilizations point out where man tries to dominate nature by modifying its system and reconfiguring its resources as if it were a dominant species, when the imbalance he has achieved due to his greed only highlights his fragility time and time again.

From that standpoint, I address topics such as the passage of time, fears, meditation, knowledge, and education.

From that standpoint, I attempt to make the invisible visible in order to reconstruct a relationship from a place of silence that may never be the same again.
