Intervengo el objeto tomando como referencia sus funciones prácticas, simbólicas y la ergonomía del objeto. El cuchillo como arma, utensilio de cocina, herramienta para tallar o empleado en rituales y supersticiones… me interesa entrecruzar sentidos y activar conceptos como vida, muerte, renacer, poder, alimento, espíritu, violencia, paz, entre otros. Comprendo la agresión asociada al arma blanca, como resultado del amor y el desamor.

In this series I perform an intervention on the knife, using as a starting point its practical and symbolic uses as well as the ergonomics of the object. The knife has since the dawn of mankind served as an essential tool for survival, used as a kitchen utensil and as a weapon. It plays an important role in every culture as part of various rituals and superstitions. I am interested in crossing senses. Activate concepts such as life, death, rebirth, power, food, spirit, violence, peace, among others.
