Having experienced moving from one culture to another, with all that implies in terms of language adaptations and social, I'm the notion of transient state, and the links between this state and questions of identity and belonging, and that living in a society with global developments and technology. For ten years, I explore these questions using inflatable objects that conform to the shape of clothing and housing. Contrasting with the stable and solid architecture and monumental sculpture, my costumes and my structures are mobile, air-filled and responsive to the places and people that activate. I used materials such as latex rubber, polyvinyl, polyurethane, foil reversible, cloth, fans and solar panels, I use technology to create an intimate experience, but paradoxically public, who are formally inspired by their function and the idea of the nomadic journey of contemporary uprooted. *************

Over the last ten years I have been working with inflatable objects exploring these concerns through clothing and habitation. In contrast to the stable mass of monumental sculpture and architecture, my costumes and structures are air-filled, mobile and concerned with places and people that activate them. Incorporating materials such as rubber latex, polyvinyl, polyurethane, reversible foil, fabric, fans and solar panels, I harness technology to build intimate yet paradoxically public experiments, and fashion and function is em based The Idea of travel of The Contemporary Nomad & the Displaced.
