Thousands of people die in drug-related violence every year in México; using processes that are reductive in nature I am exploring what it means to see, live and cope with images of incomprehensible violence. Any form of erasure, however violently destructive, can be seen as constructive in some way; by using metaphors and visual metonymies to tie together process and subject matter I explore the idea of perception, memory and transformation.

Representations of the visible will always show residues and traces of the invisible; the images I create connect the spheres of what can be seen and what can be only intuited. My work is derived from a need to find meaning in these brutal events that repositions the corpse in our field of vision, reminding us that our physical existence is finite.
