Visual Arts
Image is a vehicle for the analysis and resignifying of symbols, history and reality.
I incorporate images from archives, popular culture and Native stories to foster questions about identity,
memory and social conflicts.
I use a wide range of mediums such as classic printmaking, silkscreen, digital illustration and collage.
Image is a mirror: it is built upon our previous knowledge of reality but shows new aspects of our selves.

Etching

on the manifestations of violence and resistance that are present in
the history of liberation of colonized territories and peoples.
