Description
Made of crashed cans ( crashed by the cars ) found on the edges of streets.
I assembled the cans mechanically using wire, can by can. After many failed approaches I found a way to assemble the cans that was stable. The sculpture has 2 facings different from each other. I like it suspended but it can also be mounted on the wall.
I am self thought artist. My background is in dance but my brain likes to assemble structures with all kinds of materials.
I work mostly with found objects that intrigued me for different reasons.

Description
All That Shines Under The Dirt is an immersive installation composed of giant flowers made out of found crashed cans in one of the Detroit 's neighborhood. I made 19 large scale flowers (inspired by drawings made by kids and people of the neighborhood on the floor of a local art space ) and 1 Rainbow.. I collected and washed crashed cans for about 20 months. There's a video documentation, if you are interested. I assembled all the flowers mechanically using wire, can by can. After many failed approaches I found a way to assemble the cans that was stable. The sculpture has 2 facings different from each other. It's meant to hang from the ceiling. I like it suspended but it can also be mounted on the wall.
I am self thought. My background is in dance but my hands like to assemble structures with all kinds of materials.
I work mostly with trash or disposable objects. I see trash as energy.
Trash/Litter is here to stay but I can make it beautiful. People walk by it and don't see it. Even when people see my sculptures they don't realize it's trash; they think I crash the cans by hands.
Artist Statement for the project.
All That Shines Under The Dirt is what catches my eyes, sparks of light under the dirt, dormant energy lost in space, traces of human behavior which I sense and have a desire to gather. I feel if I assemble all this energy together into a new form I will understand something about myself my surroundings and our human fragility. It’s also my desire to pick up the disposable and give it a second chance to be seen.

Snacklandia (2012)
Collage 2012
Snack wrappers, glue, canvas
Original Work ( One of A Kind ).
Dimension: Height 108in, Width 48in, Depth 0.5in / 15.00 lb
Framing: This artwork is not framed
Fit for Outdoor: NO
Price includes shipping.
Snacklandia is a large scale collage work of snacks and beverage wrappers representing a naive landscape. I made the work originally as a billboard set for the performance of Appalachian Spring by Shua Group during a dance residency at Rutgers University.
I made later a smaller version which was displayed at Shuaspace with a print out of a research on all the ingredients found in the products.
Snacklandia is a literal landscape of products that surrounds our life and that we chose to buy. The catchy colorful and shiny envelopes to the junk food are beautiful when assemble together but scary when you google their ingredients.

Found Instant Lottery Tickets, wire, canvas frame, Thread
Limited Edition (2/5)
Dimensions: Height 48in, Width 48in, Depth 8in / 18.00 lb
Framing: not applicable.
Fit for Outdoor? No.
My work attempts to understand behavior, change perception of materials and space.
I started seeing discarded lottery Tickets on my walks in Jersey City where I lived. There were just so many. I started collecting them. Something intrigued me, it became something I had to understand.
and I understood that it's an addiction, that most of the point of sales are in poor or immigrant neighborhood. I understood that it's a predatory industry. I see the hope and the loss on the streets. I collect pieces of torn tickets and glue them back together. I think it's my way to take care of the Losers, to hug them.
Made of instant losers lottery tickets found on the streets in the NJ/NYC area.
This piece is inspired by the hand movement of crinkling the tickets after realizing the loss. The tickets found on the streets are either thorn in pieces, crinkled or whole.
Most of my artwork is also assembled mechanically, piece by piece.

Focus on Losers” is a series of artworks i ' m developing reflecting on the energy of losing everyday.
I usually find my tickets on the street but my neighbor knowing I collect them keeps them for me. He's happy I can do something with them.

Bloodrite (2022)
Wearable Sculpture
Material: women pads, thread, underskirt, structure
Wedding Dress size 4
The monthly ritual of blood for women was and still is something to hide, to be ashamed of, a taboo conversation, something dirty, an underrated aspect of women's life. So is the unspoken pain that is associated with it.
Dealing with pain every month changes you. I think it made me stronger.
This wedding dress, the ultimate Fetish Icon, is a reminder of that pain.
I wanted to make the most beautiful dress to represent that Bloodrite given to women.
