The following project is the result of the encounter between time, vibration, rebirth, ancient techniques and
contemporary art. Its creation orbits around the song of the "coyuyo"  (cicadas) that although it lives globally, its sound occupies a prominent place in Argentina´s northern culture . His song goes through time and allows us to discover that it is the same one they heard our ancestors in the hot nights of the Santiago del Estero summer.
I make the sound of the cicadas visible through cymatics plates, being able to make visible the effects caused by the waves
sound on a surface. The sound of the guinea pigs allows organic and symmetrical patterns to emerge on the plate and we
discover the internal engineering of the vibrations with which we live daily.
With these patterns I make a series of drawings, continued by a group of "teleras" from the Santiago countryside in a series
of textile works. Made through traditional embroidery and loom techniques, each of these works is offered to the
earth as a symbol of rebirth.
Weaving is an expressive tool at the service of the human soul, it unfolds in countless cultures and its design conforms
the language of time. The textile tradition is transmitted from generation to generation and is an art that makes it easier for people
live, communicate and stay.
Visualizing invisible structures is like weaving an intrinsic fabric between reality and fiction and their creative development.
it can transform our understanding, offer new knowledge about previously imperceptible elements and forces.
This is where his rebirth resides.
