The performance “Tearing the garments” is part of the series "Beings of Memory" in this series I recreate sculptures in porcelain from intimate memories of childhood. Memories laden with love and pain appear as guabas, flowers, pseudo-cactus, branches and spheres. This approach to recognizable forms of nature and also creating non-existent forms that might exist, I want to exorcise the memories of loss and suffering, through a tribute to my father, and his absence, his memory is projected in me and in my " garments "like timeless figures that are like wounds of memory.
These organic forms needed a stage where they could come alive, and it was the sea that produced this magic, in the same way for me, the ocean has an intimate significance that fits me intuitively. The enactment presented a free unconscious association, the sea no longer projected only my childhood memories but also the images lived in the media about migration and the consequences of the policies of rejection before the displaced.
It created a symbiosis of these two polarities, of the intimate and the collective; it became a universal homage to so many lost lives in search of new beginnings.
It is a collective action in which I invite the public to complement with their stories by means of sewing-mending-embroidering images of water, sea, fluids in this dress that I have worn, which has made its way and has been torn by loss, indignation, pain to issues referring to memory, migration and identity.
