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.

Temporal refugee camp. Berlin, Germany
2015

I hope something changes ) is an intervention that was realized in a temporary refugee camp in front of Landesamt für Gesundheit und Soziales - LaGeSo- (State Office for Health and Social Affairs) in Berlin where they applied for asylum.
This was the first place that the refugees could sleep in Berlin, only for one night, after almost 50 days traveling.
As a gesture to say welcome and good luck, I made a 1000 origami cranes and I put one on each of their pillows.
The japanese legend says that if you make a 1000 origami cranes your biggest wish will come true. This legend was disseminated when a girl, Sadako Sasaki, got sick from the radiation of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb. She decided to make 1000 origami cranes in order to recover her health,
but she only could do 644 because she passed away. Their friends decided to finish the 1000 cranes in her honor but also for a world without wars.
