Title
Mi casita se está cayendo
My little house is falling
La Silla representa a simple vista una instancia de descanso, hoy vivimos en una sociedad revuelta por desastres natruales y sociales, donde el descanso es un privilegio.
Esta silla representa un desastre natural, un pueblo y miles de casas que han sido puestas en medio de un ambinete destruido, algunas se caen, otras apenas tratan de sostenerse. El descanso parece algo lejano, porque la naturaleza se esta queriendo llevar todo, nadie hace nada para detenerlo y estamos sosteniendonos de lo imposibel
Statement
Translation
The Chair represents, at first glance, a place of rest, but today we live in a world stirred by natural and social disasters, where rest has become a privilege. This chair symbolizes a natural disaster, a village, and thousands of homes placed amid a destroyed landscape. Some houses are falling, others are barely holding on. Rest feels distant because nature seems intent on taking everything away. No one does anything to stop it, and we are holding onto the impossible.

La Trascendencia del objecto
The exhibition was organized by Mauricio Rivas Alver and Hernol Flores.
At Pablo Neruda National Railway Museum.
Temuco, Chile
The project was created five years after Chile experienced one of its most catastrophic events: the 2010 earthquake. During this period, Chile was also witnessing a major social revolution, with students across the country leading widespread protests. The region most affected by the earthquake was still undergoing reconstruction, and even years later, both the city and its people bore the scars of the disaster.
This inspired my intervention with the chair. I began with a chair reduced to its bare frame, and I altered it further to reflect the fractured state of my city. I added small wooden houses, placed in irregular positions, to symbolize a city barely holding together, supported only by the remnants of a structure—a city balanced on what remains.
