"The central concept merges Mexica/Mayan ruins with Italian architecture, creating a unique blend of two worlds in one space. These installations resemble temple/pyramid like structures while the inside mimic Sistine Chapel, the Medici Chapel, or Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona.
This body of work explores a "Sacred Space" or "Holy Space” cultivated and left behind by my ancestors as a gift, an endowment, a testament to their spirit, culture and sacrifice. Within this space, I honor, pray, empty my heart and dance with the night. This body of work represents a communion in infinite space. It reflects what is, what was, and what always will be.
This installation invites audience interaction through sight, touch, and scent. These intimate 8’x8’x8’ structures are adorned on the outside with five small floral paintings/sculptures, reminiscent of Mexica/Mayan temples with Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan depictions, guarding these ‘sacred spaces’."
