My bases are planted in the Tropic of Capricorn, where I was born. A late baroque runs in my veins. I practiced deep immersion in the folk culture. I have sought to break barriers, wandering through South America. I am looking for a Latin American gesture. In order to territorialize me and decolonize me.
