ENTRE CAPAS (BETWEEN LAYERS)

In my most recent body of work, I continue exploring the human form through movement and material transformation. Entre Capas ( Between Layers) introduces textiles as an extension of the sculptural body.

This project expands the exploration initiated with REVERSO, shifting attention toward the surface of the body and investigating how identity, memory, and emotion are inscribed in layers. The sculptures become a second skin that preserves ephemeral gestures as enduring forms, revealing the subtle interaction between inner experience and outward expression.

To carry out this process, I immerse fabrics in liquid clay and apply them directly onto the sculptures, shaping and folding them by hand. During firing, the textile burns away and disappears, leaving a permanent trace of the original material. What once moved freely becomes fossilized movement.

In this way, the surface of each sculpture transforms into a second skin, a territory where personal and collective histories can unfold. Clay records the trace of touch, while textiles preserve the memory of movement. They act as a living layer where inner emotion and outer material meet, revealing the body not as a fixed structure but as a shifting landscape.

As Anzieu writes, “the skin is the first container of the psyche, where the individual experiences unity and separation”, an idea that deeply resonates with the layered surfaces and traces I seek to capture.
