This project touches the esthetic sensibility of a conjunction of microforms, analyzes and works with the infinite possibilities of combination that happen with the modification of only one basic element.

It is the design of an irregular patter that at the same time contains a series of regular guides itself. This represents our own corporeity and a vision of the extreme complexity that entail the natural organisms and the capacity of transformations contained in their own aesthetics.

PRoject exoesqueleton





The project functions like an interpretation of the deconstruction from the system, an example of transposition of the basic elements of the structural construction of the human body, where the rigid element is transported to the outside, replacing the skin and creating the illusion of a protective ring.

With the development of a pattern based on the modification of a basic form , which is not natural in the exterior appearance of the human body, the image of a new corporeity is confronted with the classic idea of the surface from an organic body.

Project tissue





This project is a previous study fro the project cells, it relates to the developing of an intricate construction based in the same pattern. This work does not follow any already existing shape , but it develops its own relation with the space .

Textures





The natural world is rich in texture, the surface of any visible object is textured at certain scale. This project experiments with the composition possibilities of basic three dimensional figures; it also create rhythms through the congregation of single shapes variating in size and amount.

grid





This project is a compositional experimentation between two ambiences, the volume and the gap. The idea is to intervene and interfere a totality, in this case meaning the volume of the wax, to create a game between the space, the contrast and the rhythm.

Project Muscles





This project, show us the aptitude of the body to extrapolate the sensations and feelings towards the exterior or to other individuals, basically the idea of the project is to explore the communication of the body by means of a recovering that goes beyond the natural contact limits.This idea is possible thanks to the reinterpretation of the elongation and muscular contraction where the set of actions and movements of the fibers serve to articulate what we feel and perceive.

Project Infancy





A reflection of the memory and its metamorphosis during the growth, a way of re-writing the memories of the infancy with an adult mentality, confronting the changes exercise in these by the passage of time and experiences.
