El Aire Permite Abrir Espacio (Prototype 2024 )
“El Aire Permite Abrir Espacio” (translation from English to Spanish: “Air Opens Space”) is the title given to an installation format within the series “Archivos Porosos”.
The series explores the metaphors, analogies, and perceptions that connect us to the elements—air, fire, earth, and water—both within and around, as how can we imagine a future limited by a lack of vocabulary?
The piece consists in 6 motorized iron sculptures, created in collaboration with metallurgist, Samuel H. Ramirez. The piecereads as follows:
This series embodies a process taken over the past five-years, where my practice has continually challenged our relationships within the ecosystems we belong to. navigating a day-to-day whilst living within unsustainably dominated systems amid a climate emergency, I cuestion the consequences of this disembodiment and question how we can integrate 'nature' into the 'digital age', starting with ourselves and the systems within.

[el aire permite abrir espacio] reads as follows: the air, the wind, the feather, the dust. noise drifts, as the wind stirs my thoughts. trenzo mis pensamientos para que el viento no se los lleve, que de mis raices brotan zarzas no flores. su movimiento nunca permanece estático. nada existe solo, y nada sobre vivo solo. hay un continuo ciclo de tiempo y secuencia, y cada efecto tiene su casa. as the air flows, spaces open, propelling currents, waves, and flames. It buries seeds with its strength, ignites fires, stirs storms. air's exhale opens space, whilst stagnation obstructs movement.

This series was later explored in 2025 in collaboration with metallurgist María Chidan.
