Alejandra hand-builds her sculptures using slabs of clay, a technique that allows her to shape the form simultaneously from the inside and outside. This process reflects the relationship between the body and the world—a world that expresses itself through human biology and a body that leaves its imprint on the environment it inhabits. The slab of clay becomes a metaphorical ground where this interaction takes shape.
The human form is central to Alejandra’s work. For her, the body carries not only genetic memory but also serves as a biological archive of lived experience. Human beings are shaped and conditioned by their environments and by the socioeconomic structures they have participated in creating.
