I woke up early and walked barefoot
Through the hallways; I went down to the gardens
And kissed the plants;
I absorbed the pure scents of the earth,
Lying in the grass
Saturday. Alfonsina Storni. Excerpt

In a subjective gaze, I enter the forest, probing the surrounding sound-visual landscape. The sound of the wind and the creaking of branches intertwine with machinery engines
I propose thinking of our environment as an organism, to abandon the mechanistic idea that defines nature as a resource in opposition to nature as refuge. To build new connections by recognizing the interdependence of which we are part.
Starting from Alfonsina Storni’s poem Saturday, I approach poetry and landscape as both shelter and mirror.

“Honoring the earth, the body, and the wild is an act of resistance
against a culture that seeks to control everything.
Magic is the ability to see the world
as a living fabric of which we are a part.”
Starhawk, Dreaming the Dark, 1982*

The garden as utopia and space of resistance, as a threshold, as a living presence that reveals the ominous and the sacred. The feminine figure traverses a territory where identity becomes blurred and the environment transforms into a reflection of the inner world.

In February 2020, I organized this Artistic Gatherings with Leila Pereira (dancer and performer) in the islands of Tigre´s Delta. This photo-performance series is a process that emerges from the certainty that there is no separation between human beings and their habitat. We are a fabric where energies intertwine.

In alignment with ecofeminist principles, which state that nature and the female body have historically been controlled and domesticated, in Interior Garden, I evoke a return to the wild—a space of freedom where the feminine and the natural reunite without hierarchies or oppression.

*Starhawk, activist and anarchist thinker from the United States. She is known as a theorist of neopaganism and ecofeminism.

I base this work on the construction of the Oiketicus kirbyi, also known as the basket bug or basket weaver, a species native to Latin America. It is the females that weave the basket in which they will spend their entire lives. A shell-shelter where they will later lay their eggs.

I gather the necessary elements. The rule: do not cut anything living, only what I find fallen, dry. As I walk, I keep an eye out to collect anything that fits into the bag I always have folded in my purse.

I use branches, bark, leaves, flowers, and other organic materials. I bind everything together, weaving with cortadera, a rhizomatous-rooted plant with very fine leaves ideal for weaving.

The choice of these natural raw materials serves as a reminder of the construction of one’s own home. Rebuilding lost shelters. Building a new possible future.

Like a constellation, I embark on a magical encounter with a family album created by my maternal grandfather, a nurse and photography enthusiast. This led me to research my ancestors, their places of origin, the paths of their lives, and, in turn, to undertake a personal journey.
Transfers, embroidery, a genealogical tree with lightboxes, branches sewn with red threads, and a sea that subverts time.
Scientifically named Myosotis, Forget-Me-Not is the name of a plant with small blue or pink flowers that tend to cling to clothing. In some traditions, it is linked to the memory of a primary or primordial emotion and is considered a reminder of loved ones.

Laughter upon laughter,
love however you can,
sand on your back
like water
passing by.

Little treasures
wandering
like every other,
subtle,
fleeting.

“We all enter this world with an animal double,
a twin creature, a sibling in the forest.”
—From Bestiary by Flor Garduño

A performer existing in a suspended, liminal time.
A space-time that is an in-between.
A being that divides, multiplies, loses form, transmutes.
A silver circle, a ritual

A video performance inspired by the traditional African tale The Leopard Woman, which tells the story of a woman with the ability to transform into a leopard. I propose a dialogue, a reading of the zoo-anthropomorphic event—the transition from woman to leopard—through the concept of becoming as analyzed by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus: “Becoming produces nothing other than itself.”
