As part of my PhD, in order to combine theoretical thoughts and research with art-based research, I created an artist’s book titled “Binómio ser / estar”. This artifact comprises a selection of drawings developed over the years of this research project.

The drawings explore various themes from my investigation: the harmony between the eye and the hand, the presence of the body, movement, the hand that tells stories, the outline of spaces, moments, and memories. “Binómio ser / estar” is a graphic representation of a specific time, rendering my being and presence.
