“Pachamama” is a goddess revered by the Indigenous peoples of the Andes. In Inca mythology she is the “Earth Mother”, a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting, embodies the mountains, and causes earthquakes. She is also an ever-present and independent deity who has her own creative power to sustain life on Earth. Multiple Pachamamas, holding jugs full of amniotic fluid, generate creatures, habitats and cultures that are only apparently divided. Every evolution process is the result of coexistence, hybridization and relationship. No identity is static, isolated and permanent. Accepting differences, being permeable, defusing hierarchies and power relations, preferring care, become an alternative to superficiality, emptiness, war.

The work "Fera" is a tribute to the wild, understood not as brutal and bestial but as belonging to the forest, an ecosystem of spontaneous growth in which a multiplicity of living beings coexist and cohabit. "Fera" recalls the human need to reconnect with its wild dimension, which coincides with creation, with physical presence, with playing, in an anti-speciesism way.

The installation "Leda, Atalanta, Daphne" represents the spiritual and symbolic dimension through the evocation of mythological scenes and archetypal forms, using shaped matrices printed on vertical strips of paper. The vase becomes a container of life-generating amniotic fluids, a metaphor for the lifeblood of every living being, which it contains, cares for, nourishes, and preserves.
