Digital Composite ✨💫

This photo was taken on my last days visiting the Philippines earlier this year. Thank you @eriklumins for the recommendation. I spent a few hours at Annex House just reflecting on my trip and what would happen when I returned home. Filled with hopeful uncertainty about work, my practice, literally everything. It’s a sweet full circle moment to see the work that has come from visiting my family’s homeland and how these moments have changed me.

cyanotype on canvas
22” x 22”
huge thank you to @kalliarte and @avenue50studio for putting together such a beautiful show. Muertos de Print will be available for your viewing pleasure until Saturday November 15th. special shout out to jose, chary, and jess for helping me work through this print.
this cyanotype is dedicated to the 11 days spent in El Salvador with my lover and his family. I was not prepared for how this experience would change me. Nothing in this world matters without the people you love. I want to hold onto this moment forever, when you could feel time moving so slowly and we were together. I wish for all the families suffering through separation to find their way back home. đź’™
Crate & Barrel, 2025
39” x 28” x 32”
I found this chair in my parents’ backyard, a place where furniture goes to die. It was broken then and it’s broken now. When I work with furniture, I think about ownership and repair, and the memories that these utilitarian items hold. There is this cycle of finding, fixing, and reclaiming. Furniture flippers, landlords, and the endless turn over of temporary housing. These acts constantly blurring the lines between care and control, transience and perpetuity.
Swinging’ Party (kitty corner), 2025
From my thesis show — MA | MFA Graduate Exhibition at the CSUN Art Galleries. I loved watching this piece transform within each space. CSUN’s beautiful Main Gallery came with an open ceiling, a new challenge which led to the addition of the Kitty Corner. A small piece of wood, that anchors my lampshade with its quiet intervention.
