Persitent LVL, 2019

Persistent Lvl (2019) operates simultaneously as a physical artwork and as a digital world. The panel—constructed from plexiglass, neon, LED, Wixárika beadwork, Lego, oil paint, and gold leaf—presents a dense cosmography, a surface where artisanal and industrial materials collide in a chaotic field of monsters, symbols, and luminous portals. Its composition recalls both the saturated logic of arcade games and the intricate layering of ancient codices, collapsing sacred and playful registers into a single visual language.

Alongside the physical piece, the project expanded into a virtual reality environment, presented through Oculus headsets. This immersive experience allows the viewer to enter the artwork in first person: walking through tunnels of light, ascending metallic spirals, and moving inside chromatic chambers animated by sound and motion. The motifs of the panel—plexiglass transparencies, neon geometries, Huichol patterns, crystalline forms—are reimagined as an explorable cosmos, turning the static surface into a navigable portal.
