I investigate the translation of images across material and perceptual thresholds. My practice deconstructs photography to analyze how light and attention operate under conditions of flux, producing images that remain in continuous transformation. Through the reconfiguration of photographic emulsion and the adaptation of optical components from obsolete technological apparatus, I develop installations and performances that position photography as an active system of inscription, exchange, and embodied observation rather than a medium of fixed representation.

A matrilineal lineage of ritual and domestic knowledge from Perú grounds my research, positioning acts of care and healing as systems of knowing that precede technological modernity. I interpret the pre-Columbian ritual of la limpia, in which an egg absorbs imbalance before being cracked into water, as a form of image-making that parallels contemporary processes of recording and transmission. By aligning these ancestral practices with photographic materiality, I draw connections between embodied ritual, environmental sensitivity, and the politics of attention.

My research extends from alchemical transformations within photographic materials to optical environments that register temporal and environmental change. In dialogue with relational material intelligence, I conceive photography as a collaborative system in which materials adapt and respond. This approach proposes a mode of seeing grounded in reciprocity, where the unseen becomes perceptible through contact, duration, and exchange.
