Installation view of the exhibition ‘Affectus’, Centro Cultural Benjamín Carrión Bellavista, Quito, 2023.
‘Affectus’ is a project that hybridizes the aesthetic and conceptual universes inherent in reconstructive medical sciences, biological sciences, ancestral artifacts, and animal domestication instruments; distilling these categories into sculptural pieces that allude to the reconstructive prosthesis of Grecia (the toucan), the first bird to have received a beak prosthesis.
