Crossing between various disciplines, Valencia’s practice explores the transformative qualities of objects, language, and the built environment. Often referencing ritualistic practices, architecture, and ceremonial objects, his work attempts to open spaces of contemplation and connection, as an alternative to reconcile divisions within social structures.
