Artist State ment
milene.zozaya@gmail.com
My work is an evolving exploration of the notions of existence, time, the conventions known as “reality,” and their representations.
My artistic practice unfolds as a slow, deliberate dismantling of discursive layers, seeking to express a response to the tensions of our time while attempting to connect my relentless quest for the understanding of the experience of our existence.
