Paula Valdeón Lemus

"My work explores themes related to ordinary life and habitation: everything connected to architectural bodies and the objects that shape relationships, experiences, and behaviors. All my projects are influenced by instability and the inability to access or sustain a consolidated —non-precarious— space where the conditions for building diverse privacies can be established. Memory, embedded in spaces and their remnants, once inhabited, becomes the material that forms my grammar."
