Media:
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.
(More pictures to come) (English version in progress)
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 about listening made in collaboration with the writer Esther Kamara.
Looking to expand the possibilities of “connecting” as part of the Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice, I created a role-like game that would reflect and expand the glossary itself by proposing different approaches to it.
The different characters would perform for different perspectives on the connections among:
The liminal, the weaver, the summoner, the otherness, the inner space.
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.
The Digesting Care publication was developed for the EU Commission project Taking Care by Museum Volkenkunde in the Netherlands. It is a static website written by a Python script that takes the content written in markdown and makes it HTML using Pandoc. The website interface filters the content based on a question generated by a small set of parameters. These are defined by us digesting the concepts and unsolved topics of the conference. The website was developed by experimenting with the idea of resilient web design and web-to-print techniques. We printed an edition of 120 copies of 50 different publications.
Poster design, cover and cassette for Por la inflamada esfera.
*The footnote sentence is taken from the album’s entry on Bandcamp.
This was a beautiful project to make. I wish more of this could come.
One time, I was trying to read and I arrived here.
Exploration with RISO colors, magic and reading while traveling in the train.
Colors that are stones, stones that are the source of the words
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.
Lights, rocks, stems, tension, space and composition.
Once I made sketches for a full series of these prints, I think one day I’ll make it happen.
“morph” is a visual sequence where Scorpio, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Pluto are astrological triggers for questions about control, trust, detachment, and levity. Using the idea of a loop, this publication is presented as an infinite trace of personal transformation and reflection.
when air hopes for water,
it becomes scorpion to swim,
fully sunk, air forgets how to breathe,
sometimes dies,
sometimes lives,
it shines,
they drown,
both morph.
A print made thinking about the possibility that the plants have to bend, connect, trespass and become other.
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.
One of my first RISO prints.
Un paisaje, el horizonte y las piedras que siempre aparecen.
First RISO print ever, printed at a workshop with RISO Colmillo in Bogotá.
Staring at the sun is a book project about gaze, sun, power and contemplation.

Staring at the sun,
give up to the light,
find the center,
the being
