Metabolic Fictions 

A sculptural installation that explores the entanglements between human activity and the Earth. By transforming discarded materials from daily life into hybrid forms, I invite reflection on our environmental impact and on the possibilities for change and regeneration.

The work moves between destruction and adaptation, stagnation and resilience, decay and rebirth. Using cardboard packaging, plastic, grocery ads, and photographic prints from my Resonances series, I create speculative beings: creatures that inhabit an imaginary world where hybrid forms emerge unpredictably from the residue of human life.

In parallel, the Húmus series uses compost made from my own kitchen scraps to build small sculptural forms that act as quiet counterpoints to the larger works. Inspired by termite mounds, where collective labor turns dead matter into living ground, these structures are also records of my own metabolism: what I consumed, what remained, and what returned to the soil. They reflect my belief that even small, daily actions hold the potential for transformation.

These sculptures are more than artifacts of waste—they are part of an ongoing process of change. By blending the organic and the synthetic, the personal and the planetary, Metabolic Fictions imagines futures shaped by care and metabolic thinking.
