El Éter Antes del Tiempo is an artistic project that explores migrant identity as a process of movement and constant transformation from a feminine perspective, influenced by the artist’s Mesoamerican and Jewish heritage. Femininity is marked by a cyclical awareness, offering a unique vision of migration as a continuous transformation rather than a linear journey with a defined beginning and end. Migration is not only a geographical journey but also a path of self-exploration and the discovery of one's own voice.
Physical and generational migrations, along with internal and spiritual cycles, address the need to understand our place within these movements, whether between cultures or in our personal evolution. Reclaiming a sense of belonging—whether physical or symbolic—is essential as an act of self-knowledge and empowerment, a search for a place that may not exist in the present or in the material world, but in our deepest desires for belonging and self-realization.
The project delves into the rituals, visions, and values of femininity within the two main cultures that shape the artist’s identity to portray this perspective on migration. Technically, it experiments with materials and sounds from these cultures, such as clay for sculptures and plaques, amate paper for compositions, and the sounds of instruments like the shofar, the oud, and the marimba to create multisensory works that interact with space beyond the physical and visual.
