I collect soil and materials from all over, then I record

them into Codigos Atemporales. What’s interesting to me about the codigos is similar to what I find intriguing about the mystery of the ceque system. Within the frame- work of the codigos, there is a sense of mystery in the layers; they are pockets of information that hide a whole history. I think you can feel that energy.”
