ARGENTA LAB _____
Argenta is a Crochet Lab where I explore the limits of textures, morphology and my own mind through wearable crochet pieces. Argenta Lab is a universe where all of my passions converge: design, art, fashion and photography. Throughout small capsule collections, released timeless, I explore different ideas, concepts and patterns to create a new way of wearability and communication. This project started on the road and it is now based in Montreal, Quebec.
Featured in digital and physical magazines like Not Just A Label , Flanelle , Pap Magazine , Artego , Unfamous magazine

Titre de voyage | Itinerant multimedia installation
- artist Juan David Padilla Vega - 2024
Textile and Costume design for Multimedia installation - Watch video
Exhibited at Conseil des Arts de Montréal and Maison de la culture Claude-Léveillée, 2024
Tent for installation before textile design
I was invited by artist and project director Juan David to create two characters—one male and one female—who would embody the lives and souls of two immigrants. These characters were designed to reflect the immigrant journey, carrying the weight of pain, hardship, and the delicate strength of resilience. They were envisioned as fragile yet enduring. Not with the lightness of paper, but with the lightness of something delicate yet unbreakable. These characters were brought to life by two performers through an entirely improvised visual performance.
