"Yayas"
"Yaya" means "Grandma" in spanish language
YAYAS is a pair of bronze portraits that reposition the figure of the grandmother within a material historically associated with monumentality, authority, and public commemoration. Rather than celebrating heroic figures, the work redirects bronze towards the domestic, the intergenerational, and unrecognised care work.
The sculptures were created when my two grandmothers were still alive and remain installed in their homes. The works are subject to a temporary displacement agreement; only after their death will they be returned to me. With this work, I want to emphasise that intimacy, maintenance and family knowledge are fundamental cultural structures.
