Gathering
Time
A Nomadic Practice of Material Memory
"I gather earth, minerals, plants, and grains from each place I live — transforming them into works that carry the memory of the land."
The Practice
The Nomadic
Studio
Since 2022, I've exhibited and presented work across 14 cities in 11 countries. At each stop, I collect local materials: earth pigments, plants for natural dyes, grains for bioplastics, glass ingredients. The work begins with the land.
The studio is not a fixed place — it is a practice of attention. Each location offers different soils, different light, different memory.
Locations
Material Research
Each material holds time differently.
Earth Pigments — Geological Time
Earth Colors
Grinding stones, sifting soils, boiling roots. Raw pigments bound with Gum Arabic, Funori red algae, and rabbit skin glue — materials used for centuries, each carrying its own geography.

Cast Glass — Frozen Time
Glass
Molten glass traps air bubbles — permanent archives of breath at the moment of making. Each cast piece becomes a time capsule.

Oil sticks and Arctic earth on 70-meter thermo receipt paper roll, cast glass — installed on Arctic ice field. 7000×5.7cm for paper, 34×25×15cm for glass sculpture.
The parallel between geological ice — compressed over millennia — and handmade glass, frozen in seconds.

Bioplastics — Decaying Time
Decaying Forms
Sculptures from cornstarch, agar-agar, and gelatin — materials that decompose and transform. The studio becomes a kitchen. The resulting forms carry the textures and smells of their ingredients.

Making a Forest
At Residencia Corazon in La Plata, Buenos Aires (2025), plane tree leaves, red earth from Misiones, silk floss tree flowers, and paper mâché became materials for site-specific installations. Two gallery spaces explored universal and local plant narratives.

How do staple grains store and transmit cultural memory? Corn in Mexico, rice in Korea — two grains that feed half the world. Through ritual dining, bioplastic sculpture making, and textile installation.

"What stories does the earth beneath your feet hold?"
An invitation to listen to the materials around you — the soil, the water, the plants — and discover what memories they carry.
