A listening calendar that propose a time effort to listen more to others. Every day a sentence with a new question.
I was commissioned to make the creative direction, graphic design and print production.
Floating Words is a collection of works, part of an ongoing process to explore asemic writing. Words exist as a graphic intention. There is no clarity. Doesn’t my activate upon reading them? Do they just exist to my eyes?
All the stamped designs on the garments were hand cut and pressed by me using leftover material from Diantres, a screen printing and design studio from Bogota, Colombia. I’m grateful for your generosity and love.
The text “They Dream” was written by Nicolás Castro.
All the drawings are part of an ongoing practice to communicate beyond meaning and sense.
All of the garments are single pieces and the ones marked with a ↺ were found in second-hand shops.

We De Try is a publication developed with Esther Aminata Kamara and Creative Media for Social Change, exploring storytelling and story-listening as research practices within higher education. The research follows a process of questioning how stories are listened to, interpreted and shared, and what care and responsibility mean within these encounters.
How can a publication give form to a personal and non-linear research journey while inviting the reader to listen along the way?
Working with Esther, I first explored different forms the research could take, including an interactive website, a podcast series and an illustrated book. Together we chose to develop the book, and I translated her writing and research journey into a visual and material form.
I designed and illustrated the publication as a continuous reading experience, using drawings, diagrams, shifts in composition and speech-like elements to accompany the movement between personal stories, research reflections and theoretical ideas. The visual language moves alongside the writing and helps give rhythm and form to the changes in voice and perspective.
The final publication was printed and binded by me in 4 color RISO printing, carrying the project from early publishing exploration through design, illustration and final production.
What are the differences between reflection and diffraction?
This experimental zine explores both thought processes using book drawings, conversational writing and hole punching on the pages.
Digesting Care is an experimental publication developed with Kendal Beynon for TAKING CARE, a European research project exploring care and kinship within ethnographic and world cultures museums.
How can a publication make connections across a conference without reducing its complex and sometimes unresolved conversations into a single narrative?
We attended the conference as listeners and participants, using drawing as a form of note-taking to capture ideas, conversations and relationships beyond written documentation. Recurring concepts such as contradiction, plurality, fabulation, entanglement and the unknown became a tagging system through which papers, presentations, photographs and workshop materials could be connected.
Rather than separating editorial work, design and development, we built a publishing infrastructure in which these processes could inform each other. Collaborative text files and tags were transformed through Python into a lightweight website, while the same content and visual system extended into a physical publication. The digital version uses semantic HTML and dithered images, with high-resolution media available on demand, considering accessibility, resilience and energy use as part of the publishing process.
The website also became the blue print for the physical edition. Fifty different states of the website were printed, producing 50 unique versions of the publication. Rather than reproducing a single definitive arrangement, each copy preserves one possible reading of the material.
The result is a hybrid publication that treats publishing not as the documentation of a finished conversation, but as a way of revealing relationships between ideas and allowing different readings to emerge across digital and physical forms.
walkie talkie is a collective publication launched last July in Rotterdam for the grad show of experimental publishing. We, as the graphic design team, design a protocol/system to gather all the submissions from participants. We designed, printed and gave a small booklet that explains carefully the rules they needed to follow in order to write their text and easily adjust them in the overall design made by us.

This book is a collaboration with my beloved Avital Barkai for her web project Writing Cure. It is sticky to read, full of details and as a book got a nice feeling to the touch.
Every second page you can open it as a poster that interpreted an interface of the website.
We have some last copies available.
More than 500,000,000 objects inhabit the solar system; planets are only the 8 largest after the sun. This zine is an 8-page journey through space bodies that coexist with the largest objects.
“The Book. The Form” reflects on a fragment of the book Relational art of Nicolás Bourriaud where it is described the birth of form as Epicuro and Lucrecio did it. The project proposes, as a book, the construction of the book itself and its existence as a primary conceptual and material process.
The final result is an artist’s book that takes shape during his own process of making. In a preliminary stage the project included a book binding workshop in which it would be born as a physical object, and it would spread to others by a sharing knowlege experience, but it couldn’t happen as I planned, so the edition of the book exists but I made it by my own. This project was exhibited at La Caja Galeria in Taller Trez, as a part of the exhibition Trez con Z during Artbo Weekend in Bogotá, Colombia.
The Book:
Atoms fall parallel in the vacuum slightly diagonal,
Falling, a fortuitous detour causes an encounter with the neighbor atom.
Encounters bring clash. And with clashes,
the birth of the world.
The Form:
The world persists in form of book.
Rather than communicate an objective relate or a story, Encounter seeks to propose several readings about the graphic information printed on paper speculating about three “levels” of communication: Syntactic, Semantic and Pragmatic. The book use as resources: organic forms that are related; different dimensions of language; paper inserts, and a text that suggests poetic and conceptual connections between all the elements of the book.
Cansado, sentado en un tren, miraba el sol e intentaba pensar en inglés.
I will be with the dawn wherever she is, daughter of the moon and a silent sun,
I will be there, watching on you, your intentions, your dreams.
Smile to the journey, the change and the rhythm of this river that pretends to be.
Staring at the sun is a book project about gaze, sun, power and contemplation.

Staring at the sun,
