​

Memoria is conceived as a sculptural self-portrait, a pair of columns scaled to my own body. The clay surfaces are directly imprinted with the marks of my fingers, arms, knees, breasts, and skin folds, producing a fragmented bodily index that oscillates between presence and erosion.

 

The columns are intentionally installed outdoors, in the forest. Allowing the wind, rain and plant growth to intervene in their gradual transformation. Through this exhibition, the work enters a process of rewilding in which authorship is shared with environmental forces.

 

The piece is permanently monitored by a wildcamera, recording encounters with different animals that inhabit the environment and that over the years have begun to interact with the columns, integrating them and accepting them into their ecosystem.
