Do not reproduce images, but create equilibrium between
sight and structure where tension always moves between what
we see and what it is, without converting what we see into a
metaphor or symbol.

Do not let latent meanings overtake reality. Leave only the
view in relation to the structure. Therefore, the use of simple
elements in their interaction with light, shadow, and the
spectator, space, time, and movement is emphasized. The
tendency towards illusion aims only to amplify the space for
reflection.

Dropping our cognitive structures, the complementarity
between us and the world remains clear. Reality no longer
manifests as a description of facts but as a reflection in which
an experience is mirrored.
