Marfa Yucca

Marfa Yucca is a generative series inspired by the slow growing yucca in the Chihuahuan desert and Donald Judd’s 100 untitled works, originally made in the 1980s, at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa. Judd’s iconic installation — an example of Minimalism in contemporary art — consists of 100 small aluminum boxes. Despite their identical dimensions, each box is uniquely configured, with variations in the internal divisions and surfaces, creating a subtle yet profound dialogue between uniformity and variation, much like generative art itself.

Bosque de Chapultepec

Bosque de Chapultepec debuted at NFT ART CDMX in 2022, a four-day celebration of generative art in Mexico City produced by Bright Moments. It is visually inspired by the famous Chapultepec park in Mexico City and the colorful sprinkles on the classic Mexican pastry known as chochitos. The compositions capture the duality of the Chapultepec park, a place that is both vibrant and energetic, yet simultaneously a place for reflection and tranquility.
