“I have always liked things alive, with experience behind them. When I walk I always look for nothing in particular, looking for something that I can find, that rusty iron, that book in the container, that battered, old wood. This is the material that feeds me, far from seeing the apparent reality, its deterioration... I see its possibilities, the past life and the one I can give it, its deepest reality.

I am a seeker who does not look for anything, who hopes to find anything, a small shadow that allows me to imagine what the shape that generates it will be like.
