About works / performance
I tend to base on the urban's movements and developments as inpirations for my creative activities, which is represent people's relations and communication, about how things get along together. That is included the relations of cities to their own neighborhood, their expanding of territory and to the nature, through layers of time: past-present-future. To my deeper urban researches, I'd like to experiment the reaction and connection of humans to the city they're living in and vice versa, sometimes that includes fictitious transformations of those in comic books, the supernaturals that was created by themselves urban civilians.
