So happy to release this project that is so close to my heart 🇻🇪❤️🩹 Thank you to the
@nowness team for giving me the platform to tell my story!
My short film ‘We Knew the World in Fragments of Color’ explores memory as a fractured, mutable force, to mirror how living between worlds can reshape perception.
Reflecting on entering the world against the political crisis in Venezuela, and migrating to the US as a child, the film draws on Latin American cultural symbolism, spirituality, and a vivid chromatic language, channeling personal memory into poetry, floral elements, and handcrafted costumes.
