About the Artwork
My latest bodies of work, LovingSUITS and ¿Cómo se sana? investigate intergenerational knowledge and practices of care, examining how we nurture ourselves and each other in the present moment. I incorporate beadwork and threading techniques on paper and fabric as offerings to ancestors and markers of hope. This work, dedicated to the island of Ayiti, asks for a free Haiti and Haitian-Dominican solidarity as our ancestors practiced.
