Final year project: Totemic constructions

I explore the present relationship that humans have with their natural surroundings and propose a co-existance between different beings through configurations of human and non-human animal and plant forms. Totemism is taken as a key influence to celebrate indigeneous beliefs that privilidge a strong bond with nature and as a way to show the necessity of this kind of thought still today, in the Anthropocene era. Veneration of the natural world brings to its respect and ultimately to foster the protection of the environment and its creatures. scroll charcoal drawings sculptures in relation with the drawings Above: some initial stages of production: structures made with chicken wire and found objects assembled together. imaginary gallery view

Third year, first semester: Hybrid creatures, between human and non-human

I create hybrid beings in between human and non-human animals to show the need to re-unite with our natural surroundings in order to find our inner selves and manage to express ourselves fully, without repressing instinctive/animalistic feelings. I explore what it means to be animal and acknowledge the true animal-like nature of humans. I am inspired by the historical idea of humans with a dual nature, in between beastly and divine creatures. Yet, I put forward a more complex utopic vision that wants to see humans as embedded within nature and that take on elements of non-human creatures. Sculpture and drawing are used to express the topic. Above, 2 charcoal drawings and 1 acrylic painting Imaginary gallery views

Second year university works: Reliquary

Time, memory and place: Reliquary 2020 How will this year be remembered in the future? In my view it will be like a jar full of memories Sculptures and etchings explore the concept of conservation linked to the psychological need to preserve memories. Through references to archaeological artefacts, the body is represented as a vessel or as covered with layers of different materials to show that the preservation of memories is intrinsic to our nature. gathered materials: found objects, vessels, dolls use of many techniques and processes: paper mache, clay modelling and combination of materials Experimentation was a key part of the process Online Instagram exhibition view: Suspended Time.
