Sea of Water Lilies – Metamorphosis
Acryl and fades on Linen
Artist Statement
Metamorphosis emerges from the fragmentation of the work A Sea of Water Lilies. Each fragment, transformed through folding, leaves the surface behind and acquires a body of its own, becoming a three-dimensional object that unfolds new forms and meanings.
Fragmentation suspends the original reading of the image; folding, in turn, shifts it toward an uncertain and abstract territory, where the image ceases to be fixed and opens itself to multiple possibilities. The resulting objects do not seek to become a conventional reading format, but rather to assert themselves as autonomous presences, with their own materiality and language.
This process engages with the spirit of the fanzine: a space of free, mutable, and dissident circulation that has been fundamental in giving visibility to cultural expressions historically displaced by official institutions.
The work thus proposes an experience of continuous transformation, where each fold contains the possibility of a new form, and each fragment preserves the memory of what it once was.
Through the Reverse
Cardboard, threads, watercolour, pencil, print
Artist Statement
Threads and inks intertwine images whose existence depends on each other, revealing a form of poetry that has only come to life through its reverse.
