Such a pleasure workin w these folks under the Scorpio full moon. Tyyy to everyone for capturing this so beautifully ✨🤍
So grateful to be part of this beautifulll exhibit, Water Is A Currency, that’s up @annenbergcommunitybeachhouse until September 🌀 GO CHECK IT OUT OR ELSE😤
To be able to capture moments that allow us to reflect, wonder, evoke, and connect with others across our own personal experiences, familial histories, & memories is a dream — a reminder that we are all bound together, interconnected through the cosmics and natural elements… God placed me with this purpose for a reason. & i feel so honored I get to share this gift with the world!!!
Thank you to @coloringoutsidelines and @lucero_azul for the intention and care brought into curating this show, and all the other amazing artists i get to share space with.
& thank you to all my beautiful friends who stopped by, have continued to support me, & anyone who has shared kind words💗 and shoutout to our ancestorssss for stewarding the land.
Comeee say hiiii this Saturday, April 4 & view some art I’ll be showcasing <3 as a first gen, whose parents traveled across seas to build a better life, with my motherland being surrounded by water, this one is special to me. the ocean, the water, and what continues to keep us alive. this will be special. don’t miss it! @annenbergcommunitybeachhouse
Water is a Currency traces and defines diaspora as a water-based system of spiritual transmission — where value is generated through movement, knowledge survives through circulation, and attunement operates as ancestral intelligence.
The works in this exhibition engage water as a material force that remembers movement, labor, prayer and survival.
bday post but make it 2 1/2 months later???? lol well omfg I still cant believe im officially in my (mid to) late 20s!! here’s an unorganized dump of my thoughts!!! as each year passes, im so grateful for the concept of change. i hold my child + teenage + young 20s self with tenderness & compassion knowing all i wanted was to feel love and belonging. ive held on to much self doubt & unworthiness (both self inflicted + from others) and so much shadow work + inner healing has brought me to a place of peace & security in who i am and what i want out of my time on this earth. when we choose to change, we choose ourselves. showing myself compassion has opened my heart, softened me, & allowed me to love myself and those around me without shame or fear of rejection. when we go thru what we go thru and are still able to move with care & tenderness, we heal. grateful for the ones who continue to hold me.✨
Where instant gratification & consumerism has taken over our society & generations, im grateful for my film class that’s forced me to slow down to capture the beauty of this city. Some moments captured down Pico & Wilshire!!
Film has pushed me to lean into experimentation and to let go of perfection & expectations, truly allowing me to be in the present moment.
Shot, developed & scanned by me 🤍
