To destroy you have to create, to hate you have to love continuously constructs and deconstructs the layers of the selves in order to better understand them and take agency over them.

The works create a space where questioning emerges through the relation between the pieces, the viewer, and the space. Asking becomes a way to give physical space to the most intimate parts of ourselves. How could we approach who we are in any other way? It would be a mistake to ask violently when trying to deconstruct ourselves. 

​

Across installations, printmaking, sculpture, and video, the exhibition recreates spaces to revisit them from different perspectives. Figurative images, moving visuals, and text act as tangible threads that connect back to memories and emotions, changing meaning through repetition and context. Within this structure, Romina Bonomi’s practice explores the coexistence of her guilt and desire within contemporary feminism. Drawing from her own recollections, Anasofia Diaz’s work analyzes how experiences can accompany and shape self damaging cycles. 

By deconstructing and negotiating, a question emerges: can this contradiction be both our foundation and our condemnation
