Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary poet and artist, working at the intersection of writing, sound performance, and moving image. My practice is an exploration of language in its broadest sense—not just as words on a page but as a material, a texture, and a presence that resonates across different artistic forms. I seek to bridge the sayable and the unsayable, creating portals where language morphs into something beyond conventional understanding, inviting a sensorial, embodied experience.

Throughout films, poetry, fiction, experimental writing, sound performance, and video installations, I investigate how the play with language —whether written, spoken, literary, musical, or cinematographic—, is at the root of the questioning of power.

I am interested in philosophically and poetically drawing attention to the relationship between human and non-human animals. I create experimental films that suggest a hybrid, mystical connection between species, blurring the lines that divide them. Through my films and writings, I aim to foster ways of thinking about and relating to animals that challenge capitalist, colonized perspectives and reconnect with ancient, pre-Hispanic, pre-colonial approaches. I seek to provoke thought that questions anthropocentrism, situating humans as a recent species within a much larger geological and cosmological timeline. In my films and video installations I seek to enhance and disrupt sensorial perception as a way of destabilizing our ideas of what-we-think-we-know.

In my writings as well as in my workshops and classes, I seek to play with language, moving from the intelligible to the unintelligible, deconstructing and destabilizing meaning, structure, and tone. I search for ways of embodying writing and expanding it into the body, sound, and space. I turn my books into sound performances in collaboration with musicians. I explore performative and expanded ways of reading and writing through workshops creating communal writing/reading experiences.
