“Pandoras Box”, my second rendition of the “Tell Me Your Sins” photo series.
4’5” x 3’ x 1”
Wood adorned with biblical scriptures & original images. All images were photo transferred through a special and intentional process
Debuted & now showing at the BEING exhibition in Long Beach, Los Angeles. Open for appointment; closing reception on August 9th, 2025.
This medium and material allowed me to feel connected to my ancestry as my grandfather attended the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art & Industry where he mastered carpentry, later working and leading projects in designing and constructing cinemas and theaters in Havana.
The first ever physical manifestation of my creativity. Special thanks to JAH first & foremost, Mami y Papi, To the curators of the exhibition @fionarynd3rs@theyungmango@jindoes_studio , & To @logannwiggins for being my helping hand throughout the fabrication.
Included in the carousel are some trials, tests, & processes.
“Anatomy of Vice”, 2025, Cyanotype on canvas, 60in x 54in
showcased at Negative Space (installation 2) curated by @nelsnegatives
another chapter of my “Tell Me Your Sins” series where i depict the seven deadly sins in various ways. i produced, directed, and shot the image 2 weeks ago to use as the reference. this piece alone took about 12 hours to make, not counting trials and practices + the amount of time it took to produce the image itself. i stained our floors blue and myself as well but it was worth staying up through the night till 8am, then setting up at 11am. a lot of the other artists i spoke with had similar stories and it made me feel less insane through the sleep deprivation of it all
included are some bts and process photos but nothing can truly encapsulate the journey
digital image and photo series coming soon.
prints will be available on website.
yo soy muy mia. yo me transformo. una mariposa. yo me transformo. makeup de drag queen. yo me transformo. lluvia de estrellas. yo me transformo. pasa de vuelta. yo me transformo. como sex siren. yo me transformo. me contradigo. yo me transformo. soy todas las cosas. yo me transformo
