FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.

I HEAR YOU TREMBLE
Lighting and Vase Sculptures
This collection is a sculptural installation of pieces in recycled glass and recuperated metal debris. In search of deconstructing the glass and recomposing it into new textures, we have been experimenting with local Venetian glassblowers in Murano by infusing recycled particles of glass with various types of recuperated metal waste, in different states and under diverse temperature calibrations. The experiments allowed us to obtain different reactions between the two materials: porosity, fragmentation, elasticity, molding, & miscibility. The lava stone-like textures allows light to filter through the translucent altered material.
