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, I begin the work of investigating how memories, experiences, people, places, and turning points have shaped my voice.
In collaboration with photographers, I step beyond the page to inhabit space through dialogue, improvisation, and embodied storytelling.
Through music, animation, video, found objects, and illustration, my stories come to life in bold, playful, and unexpected ways.
Through self-portraits, illustration, and text, I build a visual language that continues to evolve with every new inquiry.
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.
