I know how soft your body is, I scratched my hands with it, 2021

Lausanne, Switzerland, 2021

Project about the feeling of desire, shows a duality of what is considered to be good or bad in parallel with the idea of love and desire ( desire related to romance or sexual desire), as they can coexist together but they do not seek the same thing. Proposing oppositions that function as metaphors between different materials and forms while reviewing the historical symbolism that has been used to represent the idea of romantic desire mostly in the history of painting and in the contemporary pop culture.

You can’t pick your father but you can pick your daddy

Fabienne Levy Gallery

Lausanne, Switzerland, 2021

This project reflects on the multitude of ways in which we as human beings reproduce patterns and maintain beliefs we instinctively hold throughout our lives without knowing where they come from or why they are in our structure as individuals.

“You can’t pick your father, but you can pick your daddy” materializes in tangible forms the idea of battling against the self to avoid stumbling over and over again over the same stone.
