Aquí Estoy

Those were the first words I ever spoke.  I was always a quiet girl and I would wander around tropical gardens while growing up in Latin America.  I’d spend countless hours just admiring nature’s beauty with the companionship of my family dog.  My mom would endlessly shout out for me throughout the day to check on where I was, and I would softly say “Aquí estoy”.  So once again, looking back on how far I’ve come in my life and the struggles I have faced, I say these words Aquí Estoy: Here I Am. 

My work is a series of explorations of forms inspired loosely by organic growth patterns of fungal matter and seed pods. Using these forms repeated in different scales and textures allows me to create different conversations between each piece. Creating clean abstract interpretations of natural processes helps me display the subtle beauties of reminiscent patterns and shapes seen around our environment. Each piece I make is a depiction of the beauty within decay as well as the cycle of new life that is created soon after.
