ABOUT

¡Qué Huevada! is a raw, messy, and deeply personal performance. It was born out of exhaustion and defiance—out of laughter through clenched teeth and the quiet panic of survival. Created during the COVID-19 lockdown, at a time when I was forced to isolate in fear for my life after undergoing two open-heart surgeries, this piece emerged from a place of physical vulnerability, mental strain, and emotional claustrophobia.

The title, rooted in Latin American expression and Chilean vernacular, “huevada” captures a spectrum of meanings—mess, nonsense, fuck-up, pain, defiance. Across twelve frames, I perform an intimate ritual: cracking raw eggs over my own head, my face covered in a paste of flour and water. The residue becomes a second skin, a mask, a statement. The sequence evokes catharsis, collapse, and reclamation.

This work is about what happens when you stop pretending to hold it all together. When you stop cleaning up the mess. When you let it drip, run, stain, and sting. As a Latin American woman, an immigrant, a body that’s already been opened and stitched back together, this piece is my way of saying: Yes, it’s a disaster—and it’s mine.

I’m not offering clarity or comfort. I’m letting the absurdity speak. I’m letting imperfection become image, texture, language. This is about what we carry in silence, in shame and fears, in our skin and memory. It’s about breaking things open so something else can begin.

¡Qué Huevada! sits between performance, photography, and protest. Between the sacred and the stupid. Between collapse and creation. It’s an exorcism. A reclamation. A joke that hits too close.
