I am an industrial designer and my main material is ceramics. My practice includes processes such as hand-sculpting, glazing and firing from which I create anthropomorphic forms that explore different psychological states. I seek to create figures that emerge from an overwhelming emotional density and question whether my subjects are marked by a dehumanisation that I apprehend as a general condition. I can only say that they hover in the realm of the in-between of human and non-human.

During my time on the AA2A scheme I will investigate two Latin American Spanish words, particularly used in Mexico. They describe a dichotomy or the traces of its colonial legacy. Deeply rooted in classism and racism, two widely recognised cultural stereotypes in Mexico: ‘Lo Fresa, y Lo Naco’. In addition, I will create small scale prototypes that will be made in clay in a bigger scale in the middle of the year 2022
