Statement

I have been working with architecture for more than 20 years and in recent years I have been hit by questions that have been sinking me for a long time and, as I emerge from a society addicted to the waste market and consumerist senseless, I started to look for answers or even more questions about these agonizing sensations that suffocated me. Added to these feelings of frustration and loneliness were the need to search for lightness, to confront thoughts, to value what was despised, in an act of tearing up what was uncomfortable, I recognized new whys.
