Life, much like survival, is primarily a game based on our relationship with the world, shifting through trial and error between the accidental and the intentional, order and chaos. Through this series of works built from makeshift structures that reference precarious architecture, the in situ intervention process unfolds as a profound self-portrait, where the fragility of the forms crystallizes the layers of a personal journey and permanent reconstruction. The installation thrives on a constant dialogue between the objective cartography of the host spaces and a vibrant plastic subjectivity, repurposing materials to impose an intimate, poetic geography. Here, the creativity triggered by the necessity of survival generates a hybrid, viral, and invasive form, where construction shifts from object to situation, emerging as a mysterious product of unknown origin. By manipulating construction debris to manifest a deep attachment to the concept of home, the physical occupation of space stands as an act of resistance and an assertion of identity. The artwork defines a fictional plane and traces a path that visitors are invited to experience through wanderment, transforming the space into a territory for experimentation and grounding.
