Garden of Dreams and Nightmares

The loom operates as a metaphor for the interconnection between worlds, gestures, and experiences, while the harvest evokes the return of actions to the body and to the community. The garden becomes a hybrid environment where memory germinates and transforms, merging sensory, affective, and material dimensions.

The paintings are tactile surfaces, created through layers of latex and encaustic, materials that evoke the skin and physicality of the performing body. Through this process, the artist transposes the gestures and presence of performance into the pictorial field, allowing the body to persist in the work as trace, texture, and temperature. The tactile quality also recalls collective and healing dimensions, where touch operates as both a means of connection and a site of transformation.

In resonance with neuroscientific perspectives, dreaming is understood here as a process of memory consolidation and synaptic reorganization. The brain functions as a symbolic loom, weaving emotions and past experiences into narratives that combine truth, delirium, and ancestry. Within this entanglement, the garden becomes a space where memory, matter, and healing intertwine.
