My work delves into the themes of displacement, technology, and coloniality. My practice is concept-led and develops through storytelling, as my final project for this course took shape in video instead of clay.

Dealing with the impossibility of taking my ceramics to Brazil, I recorded these short films so they could take the lead in a story before I said goodbye. Exploring a mixture of frenetic and digital, the short films were deliberately shot in low quality to keep and enhance the elements that denote the making of the video, such as noise and low definition.

I use elements such as the ‘blue screen’ error to emphasise that talking about colonisation can sometimes be a veiled issue when you are in a colonising country. By using the ceramic computers as protagonists of these short films, I want to emphasise how these complex technologies also need a highly complex type of extraction system in order to function, and one that stems from and is perpetuated by a colonial system of exploitation, where the global north extracts the natural resources of the global south in order to build technologies for them to use.

Ceramics as a technology has been preserved in the same form for many years, with no need to update its manufacturing methods. The material opposes this constant need for updates from today's information technology objects. As a contemporary artist, I build these objects in ceramic as an appeal for them to become their final version, emphasising my concern about the current environmental crisis we are experiencing in the contemporary world.
