- "The origin of this story is the duality of the human being, what is labeled as femininity and masculinity, what is labeled as good and evil, death and life, that reside in each of us, this video makes a metaphorical exploration: a search for a balance, therefore regenerating femininity in the "man" and the importance of women in a world ruled by patriarchs who disguise their phallocentric theories in a false spirituality, which are only models of mental and physical control. I am seeking to re-write those stories which present a clear gender division and are accepted by people as sacred books and unquestionable texts. We must doubt everything, any absolute truth falters; we must rewrite Adam and Eve, open those interpretations, and observe that being who came before this division, that being who contained both man and woman. The apple must not be understood as the symbol of temptation and in connection with the divine punishment, but rather as a symbol which invites us to become our own gods; it is a symbol of purity, of nature in contact with femininity, understanding this definition of femininity that varies depending on which society we are in, as the opposite of the masculinization rites so rooted in the social bases, rites that function as an invitation to a violence not developed in a natural way and the blindness of power. Eroticism acts as a flow that unites us with our animality."
- "I've written the story in a way that its development would be fluid, a structure that would relate with the basic concept of the videoclip, the movement of water and the union of the elements, fire's radiance in water when the soul heals. A relationship after death, where the dimension or posthumous world is represented by water, searching for a link between this element and the collective unconscious. I connect the relationship between these two characters with Hermaphroditus in Greek mythology, Ovid tells in his "Metamorphoses" that Aphrodite's and Hermes's son from great beauty attracted a water nymph's attention, she was called Salmacis. So great was her obsession for the beautiful lad that once she had him in her arms (all her body was liquid) she pleaded to the Gods to never separate them, and her wish was granted, Rebis, the equilibrium, the original complete being. The Alchemical Androgyne represents the search towards the unity of the forces, of the principles that entered in conflict in the origin, after the division. The "masculine" and the "feminine", death and life, embrace and devour themselves infinitely in the unity where also the fire burns in the water."

- "This piece is born as the continuation of my studies in the so-called androgynization rites, rites of symbolic offering of "masculinity" that operate in the abstract, such as the offering of milk in streams, the rite of the Hijras in India. The endless pursuit of the Alchemical Androgyne, the return of the unity of the forces, the original androgyny, a bio-man walks a journey into the moist, feminine principle, through the mercurial waters - spiritual and purification waters. After the unity, the origin, comes the division, the duality in which we are immersed, the phallus supporters, of the male, do not understand the coexistence of these forces. Let's drive the male element towards the sacred womb."
- My videos have multiple interpretations, this is just one of these: I present two journeys, from darkness to the light of sea (from masculinity to eternal femininity), and the awns of a patriarchal society (The Religion, The Clinic and The Armed Forces), in their path to (masculinization) self-destruction . The Alchemical Androgyne (the Hermaphrodite / Rebis), ever present character in my videos, embodies my search in the androgynization rites, in this case a rite performed by indigenous tribes where a man makes a cut in his crotch as a symbol to inhabit in a woman body, to live in the middle of two imposed sexes. A symbolic castration that I present as an invitation to "man" to reflect about his femininity. The other character is basically my way of using the right of rebellion through art, to criticize religion which seek to control the souls, current clinic aims to control the body (based not on health but disease) and The Armed Forces as the top of a pyramid that ends up collapsed. Videos featuring a struggle, feminism understood as a struggle, whatever the fight against laws (which have been created by men) is a feminist struggle.
- "This video is presented as a confrontation, criticizing how the signified of the symbology of the religious images have been manipulated by the human, serving to indoctrinate us into accepting corrupted values of a society equally rotten, employing blame (pointing to each other), ideological superiority, in which "sin" is not understood as a principle of perfection {as explained by Oscar Wilde while in prison). On the other hand, this video is also an ode to cultural universality as a principle of tolerance, an ode to the connection with femininity and eroticism, mystical libertinism, to Rebis {The Hermetic Androgyne}. Catharsis (removal of thorns), build revolutionary mechanisms by means of opening the mind {and the anus} and fighting against social conditioning. The Hermaphrodite, the union of opposites, the feminine and masculine (in connection with life and death) present in indigenous societies in Latin and North America from a sacred, divine approach. The alleged "discovery" of America must be understood today like a recoil in the understanding of the human being on its duality and the search for an unity of the forces in each of us, imposing a speech which is not of these lands, imposing the blindness of a masculinized God, imposing a non liberating transvestism, dressing of morality and repression, imposing the unique models of understanding of a biological gender. The unity that the old gods speak {understanding them as representations of nature} has been stealthily exchanged by the putrefaction of the new god money."
