To find the gesture, from the first step to the second one, to rise up in the air or lower in height, to tighten the space or release it.

Eight years ago, I came into contact with contemporary dance where I discovered a relationship with the body and freedom of movement that no other activity had given me. It was such an important discovery for me that I spent several years searching for a visual form that could translate such an ephemeral creation as dance and movement into a lasting and static reality, such as sculpture.

After researching the possibilities on paper, I decided to search for a more durable material to reinforce this contradiction with what dance can be. I found in the characteristics of solid surface the possibility of working it by hand, cutting and thermoforming with the use of industrial ovens, finishing the process with the material crystallizing during its cooling. Based on previous work, I create the stages and steps to structure a choreography, including drawing, cutting, creating models and prototypes on paper like a kind of origami to form a sculpture. Each choreography should last a maximum of five minutes, which allows me to repeat the gestures and steps learned previously before the material cools. As the choreography unfolds, the piece comes to life.

Like with other materials, I am interested in the possibility of showing and valuing the creation process in the same work. Thanks to this material, I found the opportunity to fix all the stages of the process that occurred in the initial dance with its movements and steps to transfer them to a single solid and definitive piece.
