Cosmic Altar V, YEAR
Digital Markings on Ritual Photography
Dimensions Variable
I explore the body as a porous vessel that unsettles the illusion of separation. My practice unfolds at the threshold between body and silhouette: where the work can be inhabited and, in turn, begins to inhabit. I am drawn to the liminal overflow, when form exceeds its contour and reveals its fertility.
Based in Cusco, I work in dialogue with Kutichi, a textile project developed alongside traditional Quechua weavers. Through shared processes, weaving becomes a space of exchange that nourishes my research into how territory becomes embodied. Within this collective making, mutual care is not symbolic but enacted-extended toward land, memory, and community.
I attend to how the artisanal gesture discloses configurations that, through the body, render visible a memory of nature. Tantric geometry appears in my work as a sensitive language, tracing imbricated continuities that move beyond anthropomorphic imagination and toward a more-than-human kinship. Textile, painting, paper, eclectic embroidery, ritual actions on the ground, and performance intertwine as living articulations of metabolisms in expansion.
The navel, the womb, the pulse of an inner terrain remind us that we were once part of another body. Spiral imprints surface as cosmic residues we carry within. Through these gestures, I ask how we might renew our imagination toward a story of interbeing, one in which Earth is not a backdrop, but a sensuous presence we were once deeply enchanted with, and may yet learn to remember.
