Great Britain 

2021 

Digital painting on silk with metal infrastructure.

Great Britain consists of a combination of medieval iconography and contemporary situations, its main purpose is to question if the UK has retained some traits and practices of a medieval state, especially when it relates to female bodies. 

The project consists of 3 parts: 

Sky 1/10 (head): The idealization of it. It is pure magic with a more classical perspective but you start to notice that there is the blood of a lamb that might be caused by these beautiful angles. 

Garden 1/10 (body): The elegance of all these royal gardens. It is the modification of the landscape to prove a status quo. However, when you look closer, you notice that the garden is full of monsters that have to mutilate other cultures and humans to generate their own beauty. 

Hell 1/10 (shadow): The materialization of a shadow, of darkness and the unseen. It is the place where there is no idealization or elegance. In hell, you can see things the way they are. It is the truth of a colonial present that is alive. It holds grotesque scenes of power-sucking and the oppression of the Other, truly how things might not have changed from medieval times. 

I don’t twerk for you motherfucker

2021
Mix media installation and moving sculpture.

This project comes from the understanding of my own identity, I am white blonde, light eyed Colombian woman. All my life people have questioned my identity but it was in this period of time when I started to question it myself and I began to notice that my body language was the only thing that really depicted me as Colombian women under a lot of stereotypes. In parties and with a lot of different experiences I strongly felt how the UK male gaze felt that I was dancing or twerking for them and it is NOT. The expression of my body is for myself, is with my friends and do not involve any sexual declaration, contemplation, or touching of others. As a result, this twerking machine sculpture was built, and it would continue dancing until all those colonization male dogmas have fallen..
