Cultural garden (2021)
Cultural garden is a project made for Serpentine studios, part of Serpentine gallery, as a response to the exhibition about James Barnor’s photographic work.
Scenes fully made in Virtual Reality and rendered in Blender, they were inspired by the concept of discovering colour photography, something that James Barnor experienced and constantly used throughout his work. The artist decided to portray a natural scene full of colour and elements that were considered personally inspiring. These being heritage (masks and traditional hats), nature and an ever-growing curiosity for learning new things (represented by the tree with roots in the middle).
On the other hand, the small flowers represent the artist who is reborn and gets rediscovered during his career, just like James Barnor, who when more than 90 years old, found an audience who finally appreciates his photographs.

Eclectic (2021)
Production of a series of 6 sculptural pieces in response to Hervé Télémaque´s exhibition at the Serpentine, ''A Hopscotch of the mind'' where he dialogues with popular culture and his Haitian heritage.
Based on this premise, 6 sculptures were made in Virtual reality which were then rendered in Blender Cycles. The pieces aim to showcase the culture of Latin American people, from portraying Inca and Maya deities and traditional symbols, to the clash of beliefs between cultures during colonisation. She aims to reinterpret colonialism and rethink what it means to her own culture, as the loss of identity in South America is something still present in our modern society.
The work has been based on the thought that American cultures are more than colonialism, they are unique and managed to survive and evolve despite the genocide and violence that happened during this time, making this work a celebration of that survival.
