I'm a trans-disciplinary artist who creates work focuses in installation, sculpture, photography, painting and drawings. My work intersects between architecture and space in relation to displacements and transits in cultural history, memory, and migration. I use symbols, iconographies and/or objects that represent the socio-economic layers and arguments of my cultural history of colonial extractions, and alliances. Also, I incorporate discarded materials as a mode of salvages and juxtapositions, to break the framing of a disempowered island, and to channel a new history of representation and exchange of the conditions of living in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico.
