ABOUT
My artistic practice explores questions of identity, sexuality, and territory through emotionally and physically charged multimedia installations. I use my own body as both subject and medium to investigate taboos, rituals, and forms of catharsis that shape the experience of being. My work is rooted in feminist and decolonial narratives, and embraces vulnerability, embodied memory, and symbolic resistance.
I’ve taken part in artist residencies at The Watermill Center (New York), Art Omi (New York), The Fountainhead Residency (Miami), The Kaimera Lab (France), and CTG-R (Zimbabwe and Newfoundland). My work is included in public collections such as CAAM in Gran Canaria, TEA Tenerife, Casa África in Gran Canaria, and Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Cuba. I’m currently Artist in Residence at New York University (NYU).
My work has been featured in international media such as The Observer, El País, Forbes, Paper Magazine, Wall Street International, and La Vanguardia, among others.
