Artist's Statement

Working recreation of nature with elements inserting woven plants in nature. The landscapes that arise, being photographed, trimmed, removed and imaginary gardens becoming independent in its own right. Through photography, these scenes are distanced and decontextualized to move to two-dimensional space. It is in this flat world, own photography, where a game between real and unreal landscape with a certain air of mystery occurs.
