Can the shadow be denser than its body? This is the poetic question behind this work made after a three-month residency on the Caribbean coast of Guatelama. Working as a volunteer in an NGO dedicated to environmental protection, the experience with the threat of death, devastation and extreme poverty, were defining for a series of works around traces, shadows, and the phantasmatic.
