The creative process behind Kelevra is rooted in intuition and play. Eschewing rigid planning, the work emerged through improvisation and material chance—pulled from spontaneous gestures and discoveries, akin to “automatic drawing” transposed into three dimensions. The inclusion of the artist’s own hair deepens this aura of intimacy and strangeness, binding the work to his own body and presence.

Though formally distinct from Huacuja’s monumental portals and cosmic sculptures, this piece inhabits the same cartography of mythopoesis. If the monumental works invoke gods and spatial gateways, Kelevra steps forward as a character, an artifact an inhabitant of those invented worlds, both guardian and enigma.
