My work is a constant evaluation of Latin America's socio political situation. By controverting power representations, I bring attention, and try to project a critical space that mirrors the contradictions of the context I live in. In this sense, my role as an artist becomes a problematic one, I am constantly  bouncing between my  individuality and the expectations social convention put on my persona. My method consist, mostly, on  playing, and  in the process develop a voice capable of revealing, and giving the audience the chance to construct  new meanings out of inconsistencies. Therefore the use of a diverse set of media, such as performance, tridimensional installation, video and photography.
