ARTIST STATEMENT (English / Espanol)

Off the coast of Puno, Peru are the Uros Islands. The Uros Islands are floating islets that are made of totora reeds grown in Lake Titicaca. Everything that ranges from houses to boats to watch towers are made of these totora reeds. Uros House embodies the beauty of the sea foam, while maintaining the traditional technique and shape of the Uros islands houses.
