The memories palimpsest are metaphors of all those confusing memories that overlap and are hidden. The artworks represent the particular metaphor with symbols and signs from popular images, comics, that overlap and create a non-narrative image. I copy and mix details from Disney comics to create a messy non-narrative world. I explore the personal and collective memories that are fostered with the global and homogenizing visual culture. These memories usually construct the ideas we have about childhood, innocence, and creativity. The main idea is to make spectators confront the aesthetics of childhood, the innocence, and the popular creativity that most of us have consumed over the last generations.
