“My work is referential directly to a deeply personal connection to the rituals that have been passed down to me by my bisabuela and Boricua womxn. I am nuyorican at my roots but moved to Virginia when I was 13. I use my work to share my narrative as a brown nonbinary boricua person with afrotaino descendants. My work is a sense of comfort as I am displaced yet not alone.”
