Overview
 I seek to relate indigenous medicinal plants as I stop, deform, and contradict industrial objects and materials, taking them to stages of transfiguration where, what is up falls, and what is underlying in the ground rises.

I find in what is germinal (what is found in the indigenous underworld) where it is not possible to reach our destiny, but instead where halfway through, the possibility of corroding the structure of what is established appears.

Encuentro en lo germinal -hallado en el Inframundo indígena- un estado donde no es posible llegar al destino, pero donde a medio camino, aparece la posibilidad de corroer la estructura de lo establecido.

Biography

I investigate and reinterpret delicate political matters such as corruption, the state's abuse in the jungle territories, and the inequality that arises from that. I have been to the ruins of the telecommunications company Telecom, carrying out research and an intervention that led me to question myself about what is left behind in people and places as capitalist technology sweeps them away. This process continues with a revision of commercial and labor union videos that I came across in the building. Today, I reaffirm my identity as Muysca in order to extract thread from the industrial system. I choose the heaviest and most worn out fibers with the intention of attaining and sustaining the weight of nature as it deteriorates. I seek to relate medicinal indigenous plants by halting, deforming, and contradicting industrial objects and materials, taking them to stages of transfiguration where what is up falls and what lies on the ground emerges. In the germinal, I find (what's found in the indigenous underworld) a state where it isn't possible to achieve destiny, but halfway there, the possibility of corroding the structure of the established appears.

_______________

Investigo y reinterpreto delicadas situaciones políticas como la corrupción del Estado colombiano, sus abusos a los territorios de la selva y la desigualdad social que provocan. He recorrido el edificio que contiene las ruinas de la empresa de telecomunicaciones Telecom y en cierto momento de esta investigación intervine el espacio preguntándome por lo dejado atrás en personas y lugares, cuando pasa el progreso capitalista y la tecnología. Actualmente reafirmo mi identidad Muysca para extraer hilos del tejido del sistema industrial, escojo las fibras más pesadas y agotadas con la intención de sostener y alcanzar el peso de la naturaleza deteriorándose. Busco relacionar plantas medicinales indígenas, deteniendo, deformando y contradiciendo objetos y materiales industriales, llevándolos a estados de transfiguración donde lo que está arriba cae y lo que subyace en el suelo emerge. Encuentro en lo germinal -hallado en el Inframundo indígena- un estado donde no es posible llegar al destino, pero donde a medio camino, aparece la posibilidad de corroer la estructura de lo establecido.
