and texturizing the worlds I experience and capture. My lens is often where I begin my practice, it provides me the space to mend and splinter time, and understand the happening presently being witnessed. Through my practice I seek to reveal the colourful spectrum of realities that reveal themselves during first encounters, time travelling, and dialog.
Write me a letter.
When time traveling through different time zones I pause my own timeline, and feel the rhythm of a new space. Everyplace has a unique heart beat, unique tales but the narrative of marginalization continuously reveals itself. The marginalized continue to dialog, take space, and express themselves materially to assert their dignity.
The Past remains the Present, and the Future is the change we choose to create. “To build an alternate reality we must craft different routes from what is behind us” - Sara Ahmed.
I use my practice to illuminate the paths i did not always inherit. Like my ancestors, my creative practice is a ritual of unbounding myself from economic, social, and ancestral trappings. With my practice I can explore the impact of reimagining the Present through chants, body movement, and dialogue. My practice archives, witnesses and embodies, expressions of dignity, liberation, positionality, identity, beliefs, and values.
My practice is an archive for the future.

I enjoy (re)imagining and texturizing the worlds I experience and capture. My lens allows me to break the idea of time by providing me space to reflect on the significance of the moments I am experiencing. Desiring to share the colourful spectrum of feelings that come when exploring the unknown. I am deeply influenced by the paths and practices that have influenced my ancestors, both internally and and externally. For this reason I use my work as reflection on my history, my positionality, my identity, my beliefs, and my desires. and the perspective that you see from me
reimagining I'm not capturing moments or creating with my hands, I provide graphic design for both a marketing agency based between Mexico and Montreal and my freelance clients. Travel has deeply influenced my work, but writing my first book has strengthened my passion for sharing the stories of those living between the margins.
