STATEMENT
Puzzle pieces are fragments of information. Although they are meaningless by themselves, they generate an image or a shape when built as a whole. Separately, each piece is an information unit, which builds an image. With this construction premise in mind (units that brought together can cause a shape to exist) I use the idea of the puzzle in order to create my work. I like to think of them as carton pixels that allow me to create new shapes.
Every piece is still part of a whole, but its configuration is no longer submitted to the printed information on it nor to the precision of its shape, it now acknowledges a new kind of rearrangement and its scale admits a new and different lecture of the work of art. In this new lecture, the two-dimensional support invades the tridimensional space to point out another interpretation that goes beyond the contemplative act of figuration, thus suggesting its possibility to be understood as a tridimensional shape that relocates.
