My work is socially oriented, focused on highlighting flaws in the Peruvian society. Questioning and confrontation are the tools that enable me to build this process. Through different media, such as audio, installations, urban interventions, I attempt to create a dialogue with the spectator.

At 713 kilometers from here) is a body of work that takes as a starting point the construction of Memory space Chimpapampa. Its goal is to awaken empathy and to make a bridge between citizens of Lima and their cocitizens of Hualla, Ayacucho, since during the period of internal political violence (1980-2000).
Lima was indifferent to the tragedy that other regions were living through. This project is formed by
different kinds of pieces, utilizing elements such as soil and a variety of flowers collected at the former military base Chimpapampa, using the concept of the objects as a witness.

Everybody is soil (2017) is a piece that was made with 700 blocks of earth. Each one
has engraved name or surname of a direct victim of the period of violence in Peru (1980-2000) in the community of Hualla, Ayacucho. Since a fullname is related to the identity of a specific person, I decided to use only the name or surname of the direct victims, so that in the imaginary of the viewers there can be a link to somebody with the same name or surname in their circle. Through the interacting with the piece, viewers can connect and unleash stories of their own lives.

Commemoration (2018) is a drawing in charcoal, which was released on the wall and then extracted from it. Walls of different spaces are invisible viewers of daily life. In some way, the drawing contains this testimony: Some traces of the paint of the wall as a register of time and memory. This image is related with commemoration of the dead and it is typical in Hualla, Ayacucho.

In the field in front (2019) Cartography was made with traditional Ayacucho embroidery. It is important to know that this only region represents 40% of the dead and missing people of the period of violence in Peru (1980-2000). The image is a cartography of the community of Hualla, Ayacucho, on which a flowers has been embroidered, which indicates a burial ground. Inside each flower, there are dry flowers collected in the former military base Chimpapampa.
