In Norma de Lis, I investigate conservative structures present within the domestic sphere: norms, modes of communication and interaction, roles, archives, and recurring decorations. These dynamics reveal patterns of intrafamilial relationships that condition our social behavior and shape forms of affect and memory.

The family archive becomes the space where each structure takes form through objects such as tableware, photographs, and letters, all of them regarded as valuable and representative of bonds and memories. By transforming the object both functionally and symbolically, I seek to open a more plural reality and a new understanding of this environment, in order to intervene in intrafamilial and intergenerational relationships, proposing the possibility of reversing patterns established by family tradition.

Norma de Lis is grounded in the contemporary theories of Nelly Richard and Judith Butler, which address the reinterpretation of memory and gender. From an understanding of memory as a mosaic of experiences and narratives irreducible to a single version, I revisit micro-narratives, family archives, and nearby contexts. In this gesture, performativity becomes a critical tool: transforming archives, remnants, or ideas—whether in their state, structure, or function—opens a space of resistance against social norms and repeated behaviors.

The act of reconfiguring what is inherited allows me to reach a new understanding of gestures and repeated practices within the domestic environment which, once revealed as obsolete, are exposed as fragments of a contested symbolic territory. From this perspective, non-linear memory becomes a field of experimentation in which it is possible to question and reconfigure family tradition in order to propose a plural and critical horizon that destabilizes the conservative structures of the domestic sphere.
