My work explores displacement in all its forms, from human migration to environmental shifts, such as natural disasters and land movements. Using mixed media, I address themes of identity, belonging, and transformation across these varied experiences.

Mixed media and textures

I work with mixed media in diverse formats, creating rich textures and visual contrasts. My art invites reflection on physical, social, and environmental displacements, offering a deep and unique sensory exploration of these themes.

Historical and personal memory of migration

My pieces intertwine historical events like the Mariel Boatlift with broader concepts of migration and displacement, including environmental and geopolitical shifts. They emphasize the universal human experience of adaptation and resilience in the face of change.
