This series investigates the invisible forces that we feel in our lives: when we feel the presence of someone who is far away, the urge to do something, go somewhere, or the simply magic in coincidences.
I developed it in Chile with the help of my sister, who turned out to embody all the ideas I was thinking.

What happens when a part of one-self turns off? Maybe it’s consciousness, maybe it’s a part of our ego, it could even be our sense of self. With no physical limitations, time is felt differently. We understand what things are even though they seem different. We inhabit the realm of emotions.
Dreams are also about achieving the impossible, materialising the ridiculous.
This moment in my life seems like a dream to me.
