I am an Afro-Dominican and Tainx trans artist working across performance, visual storytelling, and community-rooted practice. My art emerges from lived experience and communal histories, drawing from Indigenous and diasporic traditions to confront systems of erasure and injustice. I use art as a vehicle for memory, resistance, and healing—creating work that honors ancestral knowledge and engages the emotional truths we carry, both personal and shared.

 

Through layered, interdisciplinary forms, I build creative spaces where grief, joy, survival, and transformation can coexist—where stories not only reflect our realities, but help shape more liberated ones. My work amplifies voices too often silenced and challenges dominant narratives around race, gender, identity, and belonging.

 

Each project is both an offering and a mirror—asking us to look closer, feel deeper, and imagine otherwise. Central to my practice is the belief that art holds the power to foster accountability and connection. I see my work as a practice of healing and possibility—a way to remember who we are and fight for what we deserve. At its core, my art invites radical dialogue and shared visioning toward a future where every body is seen, valued, and free.
