About :

My practice honors dreaming and imagination as crucial components of remembering and survival. Transnationality has informed the process of intuitive collage through which I create analogies of memory composition and identity construction. Compelled by new media explorations, I have developed a unique method that transforms painting, sculpture, and video collage into 3D rendered landscapes that permeate the boundaries between the handmade and the digitally created. My work imagines a possible world through bio-mythographical symbols, images from Colombian and US pop culture, and non-linear animation to actualize the “internal landscape”; a site where memories are in a state of constant reconstruction. This process has become a powerful tool for me to bridge the gap between geographical distance and emotional closeness, fostering a sense of belonging and continuity amidst displacement. Currently, my research threads together evolutions in Andean miniature practices, scale theory in relation to distance and memory, and magical realism as an approach to auto-ethnography. Envisioning the future of my practice, I seek to continuously build an archive that addresses the complexities and fallacies of cultural and national identity, “the American Dream”, gender, familial history, and personal/collective memory.
