The manipulation of primitive matter allows capturing idealized beings, such as sacred spirits, in a mimesis with the body and what is collected in the transit through the mestizo everyday life. The forms that condense traits of a remote past, with graphics and contemporary gestures, represent magical beings that allow us to make a journey through the interior to unveil what we are today.

These objects are based on a reflection on the nature of the toy, the arttoy, the artifact and the artistic piece, claiming the material as a means of play and creation of new shared practices in the past and present.
