The Patio. Lost Tiles
The Patio. Lost Tiles and Pink Tiles

This series explores the experience of memory and the way it intertwines with the present, continually reshaping meaning. Through the superimposition of images, materials, and mixed media processes, the work reflects the fragmentary and mutable nature of remembering.
The geometric design of the patio floor from the house where I lived as a child, a place I was able to return to years later, becomes a recurring visual structure within the compositions. This floor represents an early foundation: a first ground of support where ideas, values, and beliefs were formed. By revisiting and reworking this pattern, the work subtly questions that base. The tiles appear displaced, fragmented, or partially dissolved, suggesting a gradual process of re-evaluation. Rather than a dramatic rupture, the transformation unfolds as a quiet dismantling, an opening that allows inherited structures to shift, making space for reflection, change, and renewed understanding.
