I am a multidisciplinary artist who draws inspiration from the sciences — biology, botany, geography, and archaeology. My work is rooted in an exploration of the living world and its traces, through the mutation of bodies, materials, and narratives. I question the relationships between the visible and the invisible, between sensory matter and buried memory. Each work becomes a fragment of metamorphosis, a space where nature and artifice blur, where the real and the imaginary intertwine.

I work primarily with organic materials, particularly hair, which I combine with mineral or industrial elements such as stainless steel, shells, gold leaf, or optical devices. These associations create ambiguous specimens — somewhere between artifact and organism, relic and hybrid object.

Embroidery — slow, repetitive, meticulous — lies at the heart of my practice. I began by embroidering with my own hair, then that of people close to me, before using hair from unknown donors. This transfer of matter weaves plural histories and dissolves the boundaries of identity in favour of a collective memory.

I draw on ancient sources: encyclopaedias, naturalist plates, herbaria, and biology treatises. I enjoy subverting these documents to interrogate the classification of living things, the transmission of knowledge, and the status of the archive. The spirit of the cabinet of curiosities also feeds my universe: these hybrid spaces, at the crossroads of science, art, and mystery, bring together heterogeneous elements — natural, artificial, symbolic — to create new narratives. In them, I find a mode of thinking where the heterogeneous becomes poetry.

My culture of origin profoundly shapes my research, particularly through the pre-Columbian civilisations — Paracas, Nazca, Mochica — whose weavings, embroideries, and ritual objects inform my thinking on the body, death, and transformation. These traditions, imbued with the sacred, enter into dialogue with my own gestures, where attraction and repulsion, the sublime and the obscene, the sacred and the profane confront and converge.

The use of optical devices such as magnifying lenses invites the viewer to shift their perception of reality and enter a dimension that is at once scientific and introspective.

Through my work, I seek to create a symbiosis between nature and artifice, science and myth, intimate memory and collective memory — a space of curiosity and transformation where the living world, in all its complexity, continues to reinvent itself.
