Focusing on the translation of ephemeral visual phenomena into manual processes, her work investigates how certain images seem to approach us— what begins as an instantaneous, photographic moment is later reimagined through the slow, intimate labor of drawing.

In the series The Ocean As Oxymoron, Gómez Arévalo explores the affective dimensions of human relationships—within a broader emotional terrain shaped by migration.

Through archetypal symbolism, the series studies the tension between belonging and estrangement: the ocean, used as a rhetorical figure, becomes an oxymoron: a space of unity and, simultaneously, of separation.

On Romanticismo Glitch there is a reinterpretation from the German Romantic landscape tradition in dialogue with digital aesthetics of error.

At its center, a three-dimensional QR code sculpted from wood, bridges the spatial and digital realms, transforming a virtual element into a physical, sculptural presence, while maintaining its functionality.

The installation presents a physical "Side A" and a digital "Side B" with content and texts relating to the proposed crossover.

On the series Karmin, there is color, and liminal scenarios with notes, instructions, urgent declarations. These works compose intimate cartographies—spaces where the poetic and the political, might converge.

Across her practice, Gómez Arévalo reflects on the emotional and symbolic weight of images, using drawing as a medium of both resistance and repair.
