Visual Artist
LOUDER
Imagine waking up unable to hear your own voice.
Your thoughts, your feelings, your truth left unspoken.
On Friday, November 7th, 2025, I woke up to complete deafness.
In the silence and confusion, a distant, soft voice
within me whispered:
if I ever heard again, I would let my voice rise,
bold, unapologetic, louder than ever.
Shaped by identity, migration, gender, and belief,
this body of work follows my voice from its origins through an ongoing search
and carries a promise to let it be heard, louder than ever.
From the intimacy of my desk, these books bring together memories, experiences, and turning points that have shaped my voice.
Created in collaboration with photographers, these photo performances allow me to inhabit space through my body, props, dialogue, and improvisation.
Through animation, video, found objects, and illustration, these clips bring my voice to life through movement, and storytelling.
These collages bring together self-portraits, illustration, text, and paper to construct the visual language through which my voice continues to evolve.
I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the construction and evolution of voice through personal experience, identity, and memory. Working across books, photo performance, video art, ceramics, and mixed media, my practice investigates how lived experience shapes voice over time.
At the core of my work is Jazmín, my alter ego, a constructed presence that carries and performs my stories. Accompanied by her Snoopy suitcase, she first emerges in my books, allowing me to revisit, reinterpret, and give new form to moments drawn from my life. Through Jazmín, memory becomes a current narrative, and narrative becomes a space for exploration.
In my more recent work, I move from image into embodiment, using my own body in photo performance to confront these new narratives directly. Across all media, my practice reflects an ongoing search shaped by identity, migration, gender, and belief, and driven by a promise to let it be heard, louder than ever.
