In essence, I played around the idea of our "own little snail or house inside our brain" which offers a creative and metaphorical lens through which to contemplate the intricacies of the human mind, emphasizing its uniqueness, protective qualities, and potential for self-exploration. Suggesting that our inner world is a place we carry with us, much like a creature carries its shell.
Pamela presents two pastel drawings of the human auditory system alongside 60 dry-air clay snails, each leaving a trace depicting the scientific diagram of the ascending auditory pathway – from the cochlea to the cortex – on the window.

Within this artistic narrative, she started a quest for creating "perfect raindrop,"
A thread that intertwines her personal odyssey with water, bringing to the table her experience of drought and parched landscapes, from her hometown Monterrey, Mexico. And in a stark contrast, she highlights the watery abundance of Antwerp, where the rain has pleasantly surprised her with its profusion.
Pamela unveils a 10kg dry-clay installation of raindrops, a drawing accompanied by a list of coordinates, and a loop video. Through these mediums, she invites us to witness the stark disparities and engage in discussions about how our memories are shaped by weather. Furthermore, she prompts us to consider whether weather is a social or personal experience, and how it can be communicated and translated through words and images. In the context of climate change, she raises the question of how our memories might diverge from the weather we've come to expect. This project serves as a personal journey, connecting her experiences with the broader narrative of the essence of water.

About
On this occasion, Pamela focuses on the rebirth of native plants after an extreme drought from last year, framing a tree native to the region (Caesalpinia mexicana) and the wind as the main protagonists of the exhibition, with Pamela's allegorical compositions taking place in the organic pathways through which leaves and nature still follow their path after extreme weather conditions.
From early morning to late afternoon and a 2-minute sunset, the landscapes evolve revealing layers of different moments and movements, light and shadow emerging between the winds.
Pamela presents a compilation of four large paintings along with various assemblies of small canvases, accompanied by recent experiments involving the installation of blown glass chains. Sharing a speculative space of imagination that takes place in her landscaped home located in an abandoned quarry (Cerro de las Mitras) in Monterrey, Mexico. She has an ongoing project focused on connections through understanding the in situ environment, geographical factors, as well as the human factor and its influence on the environment.

Pamela establishes a conceptual anchor with the time and place of the landscape in a series of six charcoal drawings on washi paper that, similar to the landscapes themselves, these drawings fade over time.
Alongside — An archive of landscape photographs between the period of time between July 2021 to November 2022 shown as postcards “Forecasting the state” which dealt with a representation of the environment holding as much of the past inside them.

Pamela's work features two drawings accompanied by photographs from an old quarry in her hometown. Playing with visual excerpts, she assembles a fragmented and incomplete rendering of the place.

The pieces draw from the three stages in the life cycle of thunderstorms: The developing stage, mature stage, and dissipating stage. Creating a narrative from fragments and precise moments of each state.
Beyond the visual representation of thunderstorm stages, Pamela delved into the conceptual aspects of story telling through imaginary. Question the nature of observation, and encourage seeing beyond the literal and explore the speculative potential of the medium. The title, "We cannot observe the same things," hints at the subjective nature of perception and interpretation, adding an intellectual layer to the visual experience.
Pamela aimed to redefine her relationship with photographic images, using the metaphor of thunderstorm life cycles to guide me through a journey of speculation, creativity, and contemplation.

Routine-based performance titled ‘Day by day’
The performance ultimately addresses her resting body topographies, through each day scenario she was able to explore memories, thoughts, dreams in relation to drawings by means of textures and experiences, diving into a stream of imagery.
Pamela incorporated a drawing ritual inside her daily routine, in which for 287 consecutive days the lines and marks from my sheet bed became her drawing field.
...the way in which the territory of the dream becomes a drawing field, a storm a pretext of thought, or a series of lines a kind of mantra to focus and understand the world.
