Through drawing, through model making, through immersion and personal experience, I am present. Rapidity of making allow concepts and ideas to be explored and tested quickly. Cardboard dog models and analogue sketches work in synchronicity and push me forward.

I move bricks by pen and pencil, understand the boundaries of my site, select what interests me and what develops my ideas. On the walk, I record, clues to my project. It’s a tactile studio, it feels good to draw again.

Taking pictures like an archaeological dig, it is a meticulous discovery and uncovering of the city. As I walk, I record fragments in time, of memory, and of future possibilities.

The former industrial district of Poblenou, in Barcelona, once hosting the Olympic Village. The area is a start-stop of development and urban renewal entertaining multiple histories. It sits between the sea and the city centre. The iconic Cerda Eixample grid ends here as it meshes with the old streets of Barcelona.
