My interdisciplinary creative practice is shaped by grief and grounded in passion, love, warmth, and presence. I work primarily through nature and travel photography, mixed media collage, and poetry and prose. My work lives at the intersections of art and education, tracing the cultural, social, political, and territorial borders that shape our lives. I approach storytelling as a radical and necessary act, understanding stories as the currency through which power is exchanged, sustained, and transformed.
In dialogue with race- and gendered epistemologies, ecofeminism, and community place-making and place-keeping practices, I approach critical theory as a lived inquiry. At the heart of my practice is an act of archiving and attending. I gather fleeting gestures from the natural world, seeking beauty as a form of survival and engaging in exchanges of wisdom with landscapes and living beings. Through sustained attention to place, space, memory, and time, I ask how we might cultivate belonging and build community within perilous and precarious conditions.
I think and create across histories, in relation with plants, nonhuman animals, and inorganic matter. My work is a personal testimonio, an offering of ancestral reverence and deep respect for the living world. It is how I learn to embody spirit in material form: to co-create, to dream, and to imagine otherwise.
It is my commitment to the art of being fully alive.
Onward, sin miedo.
