Artist Statement
Through this body of work, I try to reflect on the path I must travel from chaos to order, in search for the equilibrium in my life. Working with soil is an act full of symbolism and meaning. Soil stores memories, it gives me a sense of identity and belonging. It helps me understand who I am as an individual and as a member of a group, to which god I pray, what I think and feel, how I understand the world, where I come from, what I believe in, and where I want to go. Through soil, as a metaphor of the substance we humans were created from, I try to understand the meaning of my existence.
