CHIGÜIRO, 2021- PRESENT
Terracotta and glaze, dimensions variable.
This is an ancestral love project, as it is a communal project.
Chigüiros (Capybaras) are native to Colombia, and they are absolutely my favorite animal.

Never having seen one before in this life, I have always admired them. During 2021, I was squishing clay one night and encountered some lost memories, and ended up creating a Capybara that became the reference for all the future Capybara models.
Then, In January of 2022, my lovely friends surprised me in an animal sanctuary in Central FL where I met two Chigüiros. From there, I was filled with so many ideas for making custom Capybaras (the “two headed Capy”, the “freak on the leash”, “Flappybara”, “Capy with a butterfly on its nose”, etc.)
I had no immediate plans as to where I wanted to go with this project, and it became a healing process squishing a lil’ population con muchísimo amor!!
