The series WORDS unfolds through an abrasion technique on steel, in which language is removed from its condition of stability and transformed into a perceptual phenomenon.

 

The metal surfaces, shaped through processes of abrasion, do not simply contain words; rather, they render them dependent on three fundamental elements: light, reflection, and time. Legibility is never given once and for all, but is activated through the relationship between the work and its observer.

 

Light strikes the surface, determining the emergence or disappearance of the word; reflection introduces a shifting and unstable image; time manifests through the movement required for the word to become visible. Within this system, meaning does not precede vision—it coincides with it.

 

Essential and universal terms 
HOW |  WOW |  NOW
YES |  MAYBE  |  NO
appear alternately in space, never presenting themselves simultaneously. What becomes visible is always the result of a specific position: each reading is situated, partial, and temporary.

 

The work does not offer a neutral or definitive view. Instead, it implicates the viewer in an active process of searching and choosing. To move through space is to alter the field of the visible; each shift produces a corresponding shift in meaning.

 

In this sense, the direction of the gaze also introduces a temporal dimension: words can be experienced as sequences —

HOW → WOW → NOW

 NOW → WOW → HOW,

YES → MAYBE → NO

or the reverse — generating different, sometimes opposing, trajectories of meaning.

These sequences, however, are never imposed; they only emerge when activated.
