Us Others and Myself

The process of making 104 ceramic pieces using the head of a discarded mannequin as a reference allowed the artist and the material to come into contact and create a relationship of coexistence and intimacy. The act of recycling clay kneading and shaping it painting and firing the pieces gave rise to reflections perceptions anxieties and concerns about the place of emptiness and objectification occupied by human beings alongside objects in capitalist society. While people are emptied objectified and lose their identity objects are humanized and seem to come to life. Both compete for the same space fight each other as equals mix and alternate the place they occupy according to the value assigned to them. Thus through the repetition of constructive acts and the reinterpretation of discarded objects this artistic and poetic research proposes a new perspective and a new place for what has become mere waste and which in this way now shares a time of production that has a different logic-unlike the logic of capitalism-and constitutes a time of construction reflection possibility reinterpretation and contact.
