The solid clay sculptures bring the memory of the hat, the texture of the straw, and the marks of the removal of the clay from the mold, movements sometimes subtle, sometimes more violent, which make each Head unique. Thus, the work talks about the measure and matter of the body and its relationship with nature, but also about the rupture with the mold and this moment of ruin and rebirth. The bronze sculptures are an extension of the work that, through the material of the Head, seek to perpetuate a moment of transformation.
