At the core of my artistic practice is a strong commitment to sustainability and social awareness. I use waste and second-hand materials to create art that challenges perceptions and reimagines overlooked resources, serving as a rebellion against consumerism. My work also reflects narratives from my Puerto Rican heritage, connecting me to my homeland despite physical distance. Through my art, I express the transformative power of creativity and my belief in the potential for positive change in ourselves and the world.
