About

Hi,

I am a New York based artist working with photography and sculpture. I create forms that empower, uplift, and embrace tender moments. I choose materials and photographs to physically intertwined them together with my own personal experiences and imaginations of care, resilience, and protection, from domestic household objects such as sponge, baking trays, and donated furniture to recycled mesh produce bags and other netted fabrics.

My mom, sisters and I migrated from Guatemala to the United States in 1991, escaping from increased violence against women and machismo culture—issues that continue to threaten the lives of women and children globally. My sculptures, whether hanging on the wall or standing firmly on the ground, function as alchemic-sacred charm objects or talismans, each deeply rooted in the desire to protect and elevate women and children of the past, present, and future.

Throughout my practice, I seek to honor the women of today and the women of generations before me whose hard working hands have come with outpouring generous wisdom, undeniable loving and compassionate hearts, and an unshakable faith to continue to move forward.
