Historia del Abuelo works on the theme of origin and influence and the exploration of ideas of migration, oral tradition and family. . This is a video installation of a narrative nature attempting to create family and generational parallels. The story told is of my grandfather Harry Lind, as it was related to my brothers and I, by my grandmother when we were children as a bedtime tale after his death.

2010 Hogar * Oil on Canvas 2011 Donde te Fuiste Oil on Canvas For the Bachelor thesis project I decided to do oil paintings because it was the material that came naturally for me because of my studies at the University.

Afecta (Lima. August 2009) Entrando a un espacio, caminam os, respiramos, observamos y en todo lo que hacemos modificamos de un modo u otro este espacio. Si pudiéramos visualizar nuestra propia influe ncia sobre cosas y personas , ¿cómo se vería? Afecta, p arte de la tal vez sencilla idea de que todas las personas son valiosa s por el hecho de existir. Con el sólo hecho de existir, cada persona modifica o afecta de algún modo el mundo como pieza que se conecta infinitamente. Estas ideas las conecto a mis estudios previos con comunidades Shipibo – Conibo, en las que tradicionalmente se considera que el mundo está lleno de diseños como energía que une todo. Cada persona tiene un diseño individual que puede ser percibido por todos los sentidos y es afectado por nuestros estados de ánimo y salud en general. Asocio este código o este diseño individual con la huella digital, que también tiene la particularidad de ser únicas e irrepetibles. Prolongo y desarrollo el diseño que m e...
