In my productions, while I am stripping forms of all their negativities and construct synthetically ideal forms in an incestuous repetition, I create with all the differences these forms offer in the process. I compose divergences by colliding my experiences and images with an empirical attitude that allows a pure reflex to acquire a style and form. When the resulting contrast is revealed, the body and forms are distorted and the images transcend their coded memories as the statues become their original selves, which I also refer to as "things".
