MAG_Social Rooms: Interactive Social Sculpture
The “Social Rooms” are an extension of the MAG/Minimal Art Gallery series, presented as a social sculpture or installation. These interactive spaces explore the dynamics between people as they interact in a digital or physical environment. Utilizing interactive media, sound installations, and visual elements, they create an environment that responds to the presence and actions of participants.
This work questions the role of the individual in a connected world and invites reflection on community and communication. By involving participants in the creative process, it fosters a sense of togetherness and encourages active engagement with the presented themes. “Social Rooms” demonstrate the potential of contemporary art to offer new perspectives on coexistence in a digitalized society.

Child Soldiers
In my Social Room “Child Soldiers,” I confront the harrowing reality of children forced into becoming soldiers in the mountains of Guerrero, Mexico. In a region where the state is often absent, self-defense groups take on the role of protectors—recruiting even children for their cause. Poverty, violence, and a lack of opportunity leave these children with no choice but to risk their lives instead of attending school or enjoying a carefree childhood. This room reflects this harsh reality and invites reflection on the societal and moral questions behind this injustice.
The issue of child soldiers in the mountains of Guerrero, Mexico, is deeply rooted in poverty, violence, and governmental failure. In this region, where state protection is often absent, self-defense groups emerge to combat criminal cartels. To defend their communities, these groups recruit children, often as young as 6 to 15 years old.
These children are drawn into a culture of violence, losing access to education and risking their lives. Poverty and a lack of opportunities push families to accept this reality, as they have few alternatives. At the same time, exposure to violence causes severe psychological trauma for the children involved.
This problem reflects a broader systemic failure: corruption, lack of state presence, and insufficient social support exacerbate the crisis. Comprehensive solutions are needed to break the cycle of violence, protect the children, and offer communities viable alternatives.
When You Believe, You Are Not Believe
This artwork plays with language, perspective, and perception. The sentence, deliberately grammatically incorrect, feels disorienting at first glance and invites deeper thought. What does it truly mean to “believe”? Can belief exist without being questioned?
The intentional distortion of language shows that this is not about linguistic perfection, but about a deeper reflection on the nature of belief. The sentence breaks rules—just as our convictions can be broken or reshaped.
The installation combines texts, images, and objects in a space that feels like a cosmos of thoughts. The projections and materials create an atmosphere that encourages pause and introspection.
One might say: This piece doesn’t just ask us to believe or not to believe, it questions whether we ever truly “believe” when we simply claim to. An artwork that opens minds and sparks discussions.
Faith is a paradox. When you believe, you do not believe—or do you? For me, faith is not about blind acceptance but about questioning. It is the engagement with the unknown, the search for truth, the choice to believe in something specific or to challenge it.
In my Social Room “When You Believe, You Are Not Believe,” this tension comes to life. A black Madonna symbolizes the mysticism of faith, while enigmatic two-dimensional objects with glyph-like symbols evoke a sense of undecipherable mystery. Their meaning is unclear, and that’s the essence: faith is not about definitive answers but about free, individual interpretation—a constant dialogue with what we cannot fully comprehend.
