The use of quicklime in my work draws from the Andalusian social imaginary and is presented as a patina that is paradoxically protective and caustic, with the power of preserving something it in time or making it disappear. An alchemical agent intimately linked to the body, capable of transforming shadows into light and monstrosity into beauty and vice versa.
→The Quicklime Paradox was developed during the social design Masters programme at Design Academy Eindhoven and was awarded Cum Laude.
→The two-year research is gathered in the publication The Quicklime Paradox: Memory and Erasure in Andalusia, and was presented at the DAE Graduation Show during Dutch Design Week 2025 in the form of an installation featuring two artefacts - Calados Hasta los Huesos and Under the Limelight.
