This exhibition is inspired by the concept of a pantry, understood as a space where what holds long-term value is kept, beyond immediate sales or fleeting trends. This imagery serves as a foundation for developing future creations. Therefore, I present pieces that hold intimate value, with which I coexist daily, and that are part of a narrative about the evolution that has developed in this recent period.
