AURA represents the fusion of my two passions: music and fashion. For my final degree project, I chose to explore how these two arts, often seen as separate, are united by emotions.
This project reveals how we convey our essence through fashion and dance, showing that each garment and every movement reflect our identities. AURA invites us to celebrate these unique expressions, turning every style and step into a story to tell.
NOEUD
NŒUD, knotted in French, is the new artistic proposal of the dance company DAB, in which we have explored in depth the working methodologies that Eduardo Chillida and Cristóbal Balenciaga had in common through movement.
The creation of spaces and curvilinear figures are the concepts of both artists who directed the movement of their time towards freedom. Precisely the period in which they lived has also served as inspiration for us, we have observed the political, social and cultural situation of their time, finding the way from constraint to freedom.

HANDS RESONANCE
HANDS RESONANCE is a project that highlights the movement of manual work across generations and addresses the fading sounds of craftsmanship. Inspired by my grandfather Xabier and his friend Txintxo, both dedicated to the art of woodworking, this project merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistry, drawing influence from sculptor Eduardo Chillida's shapes and colors.
HANDS RESONANCE aims to amplify the silent stories of skilled hands and honor all artisans who have devoted their lives to their craft. Eskerrikasko (Thank you).

CRISTOBAL BALENCIAGA MUSEUM SCOLARSHIP
In June 2022, I was selected by the Cristobal Balenciaga Museum to apply for a $6,000 scholarship for the Arts of Fashion Foundation international masterclass at the Balenciaga Museum in Getaria. Under the guidance of designer Lucas Sponchiado, we explored "Silhouette & Shape," drawing inspiration from Balenciaga's legacy. Our process began with researching abstract collages, which informed the capsules we created, blending these concepts with shapes developed through moulage techniques.
Our projects were ultimately exhibited in the museum's hall.
