Description: interested in how cultural myths are produced and absorbed—whether as tools of manipulation and power, or as quests for identity and certainty. Her work explores a wide range of myth-making sources, from religion and fairy tales to advertising, social behaviors, clichés, gender, sex, and politics. Myths, in her view, are consumed and reproduced to the point of becoming routine. Her practice is multidisciplinary and examines desire as both a creative and destructive force, aimed at producing altered states and ruptures that lead to subjective, collective, and sometimes collaborative aesthetic experiences.
She studies how desire circulates as a form of value within the systems that shape human relationships, and how these dynamics often result in violence through processes of negotiation and representation. These forms are continuously drawn, redrawn, and imprinted as boundaries of human behavior. In addition to her artistic production, Ochoa has collaborated on curatorial, writing, and teaching projects. She completed the full educational program at SOMA and has been involved in initiatives such as Taller Multinacional. Since 2005, she has exhibited her work in museums, galleries, institutions, and independent spaces across Colombia, Mexico, and internationally.
