Description

*For this series, I begin with images that intrude upon my memory in a recurrent way. The images that assault me are not memories, but apparitions. They return again and again, deformed by time, intertwined with others, until they become symbols.* *In this interweaving, a personal mythology emerges: a repertoire of intimate symbols that do not seek to reconstruct what happened, but rather to invent a territory where the real and the imaginary coexist. There, memory turns into myth, and the account of what was lived transforms into a mutable narrative, always in process.* *Smoke emanates from my tongue in front of the mirror as I suspect I am possessed; I heard the blow and saw your body flying; premature cannibalism on the carpet; the ouija board repaired the electricity; a wide-open eye waits; the spear piercing the chest; the hole where I will be the meal; I saw your reflection before I saw you; we spin around in the burning elevator.* *From this starting point, I work with the early models of Stable Diffusion, generating low-resolution images full of imperfections and unstable forms. From these fragments, I gather textures and contours that do not yet have a defined image.* *With these fragments, seemingly unrelated, I create collages in which meaning arises through the process. Pixels and artifacts become the raw material of each piece. The final image is never solid; it always seems on the verge of dissolving. I am drawn to that threshold, that moment when the visible is about to collapse, but still resists.* gozo
