This piece born with the sighting of more than 50 starfish stranded on the last rock that separates the sea from the sand.

In addition to the obvious similarity between the textures and shapes, this phenomenon inspires a research process on the behavior of starfish in relation to the ways of life that Latin American dissidents adopt to subsist inside this fascist, neoliberal and heteronormative system.

I take the analogy of stranding as a dissident collective survival method against a system that violates and censors our existence. Resulting in an audiovisual piece, which mixes corporealities with sounds of aquatic and human nature, which invites the audience to immerse themselves in an erotic sensory experience.
