About
My work is visceral, hybrid, and unapologetically intuitive. I move across disciplines—installation, photography, poetry, performance, mixed media—not to merge them into one form, but to let them collide, cross-contaminate, and reveal new languages. I follow sensation before certainty. My practice is built from layers—of material, of memory, of tension. Texture, rupture, and imperfection aren’t flaws; they’re my raw materials. They’re how I tell stories that resist smooth edges.
As a Latin American immigrant in the U.S., I live and create from the in-between: between languages, between homes, between what I carried and what I had to leave behind. That space—liminal, contradictory, deeply alive—is where my work finds its voice. I am constantly negotiating identity, belonging, displacement, and cultural inheritance—and I allow those negotiations to remain visible. I don’t seek resolution. I’m more interested in what remains unanswered, in the vulnerability of the fragment. What do we carry across borders—visible and invisible? What do we bury to survive? How do memory, migration, and resilience shape the body and the image?
My artistic inquiry is both personal and political. I am drawn to the tension between intimacy and resistance, between what is seen and what is suppressed. My work explores the borders—real and imagined—that shape our lives: ethnicity, gender, culture, class, and history. I approach these not through explanation, but through gesture, atmosphere, and the suggestion of story. What we carry in our bodies, in our silences, in our migrations—this is my terrain.
A central thread in my practice is the transformation of imperfections into provocative, inquisitive visual elements. I work with what’s broken, torn, incomplete—to make something that pulses with life. I believe art should provoke—not only aesthetically, but emotionally and intellectually. My current goal is to create work that generates response across cultural and academic contexts, especially those centered on intersectionality, migration, and the resilience of women.
Art, for me, is not about resolution. It is about making space for what doesn’t fit. For what’s been ignored or exiled. For what still aches.
