In his research, he explores possible distortions and aesthetic shifts in the codes of architecture and design through the exercise of editing in different languages, covering topics such as race, consumption, and the visual dissonances between the center and the periphery. Currently, they have been developing experiments between three-dimensional objects and digital media with a focus on multimedia installations and architectural procedures as a way of elaborating their work in the visual arts.
