On Earth, millions of molecules come together to form cells in humans, in plants or animals. The molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that shows all the physical and chemical properties of the body from which it was extracted. They carry a story, they store secrets. In their structure, they tell us about the past in which they have been constituted. Within this scientific framework, I decided to create my own "Molecule". A structure based on my residency personal experiences living on the outskirts of Merlo, San Luis. A molecule that shows what my eyes saw, what my ears heard, what my hands worked, and what my voice sang. An extract of the Sierras that contained me. The aromatic herbs of its geography, its birds that had me as a morning must, my relationship with foxes ... I played science through art, and with this sculpture, I immortalized an experience that only my experience will know how to read as if it were a molecule of DNA that within it carries its encrypted mysteries. The most important thing is that now encapsulated, I can physically share what is not physical. The “Molecule” allows me to transport these lived feelings and bring them closer to those I want, being able to do without the oral story. I let the viewer soak up my coded experiences. The sculpture is interactive and is designed so that the viewer also plays a scientist and can have his own appreciations. Let it move and commit to it. It is so that molecules are in constant motion, and rarely stop interacting with their environment.

An exploration of the powerful symbology of Argentinian native culture. The constant re-invention of an art that continues to speak, towards a contemporary language that continues to listen to them (it is my hope). Mawk'a Kawsay (Ancient Life in Quechua) is a sculpture-play-work that dresses in the colors of the cosmos and seeks to play, educate and integrate the viewer into the bowels of its mysteries. It is necessary to explore it, navigate it, open the planes of consciousness, transcend the planes of the apparent and dive into the journey. His designs are the result of an exhaustive investigation of the art of our native Argentine peoples, founders and protectors of our rich lands. Shapes that interrelate and form larger and more powerful figures, structure and visual de-structure. The complex puzzle of the cosmos, from a vision of wisdom and ancestrality, recreated in an aura of contemporary art.
