The popular electronic game Tetris lends its name to the series to which the works Color Mix, Tetris Siglo XVII and Alcazar belong, while inspiring the structures which shape them.
Around different rectangular forms covered in a variety of tiles, textile tubes and protuberances cross and wind. The colours of the tiles are mimetized in the textile volumes surrounding them. The rigid ceramics cannot prevent the evasion of the soft textile forms, whose organic shapes contrast with the angular blocks that form the structure.
The feminine world invades the masculine territory, proposing a harmonious play of contrasts that frustrates the expectations of a gender-based identity.
