"My sculptures are made manually one by one through a process similar to crochet. So it was a big challenge to think about the craft work and transform it into multiples.

The piece is an offshoot of a series I have already developed that uses two types of metal, iron and brass. In it I reinforce the duality of two bodies and create an action between the two elements.

The work can be presented in different ways, free from a pre-established model or support, I suggest some ways to show a little of my perspective on the work."
