ARTIST STATEMENT:  

Dualism argues that reality consists of two fundamental, opposing, and irreducible principles that explain everything that exists. In some cases, beings cooperate and contribute equally to creation. Sometimes, they compete, such as good and evil, light and darkness, beauty and ugliness. We present a surface form stretched over the shape formed by the arrangement of geometric pieces within itself transforms it into a living organism. The work addresses the tension and contrast arising from this duality with a sculptural understanding of form.
