My works show moments of a contingent reality, where nature presents itself as a fragile component of a structure built by the subjective view of the human being. In my videos, we see natural elements in situations of instability, over which there is anxiety caused by a feeling of constant anticipation. For this purpose, I create short duration loops, composed of a single continuous plane, which repeats imperceptibly. These videos are compositions formed by various elements, from my personal footage archive, stock videos and digital animations that are combined through compositing techniques in order to create an illusion of verisimilitude, exploring the potential of movement as a pictorial element.
