Statement


These pieces were inspired in the idea of the place where I belong.

The idea was developed considering place of birth and family blood as special values to rely on.

I worked in the hope that there will always be strong and permanent underlying bows waiting to arise and become unequivocal.

The bonds that attach land, blood and feelings.

Each piece relates to a personal pray, a sort of customized religion based on belief, hope and finally facts.

The pieces were built using materials I collected in particular situations, such as beach pebbles or oxidized roof tins, intending, with the inclusion of these elements, to communicate the sense of land as the place where I belong.

Other components materialized in silver and nickel silver, allowed me to evoke my memories of that special, relaxing oasis, called bonding feelings.
