I am a Puerto Rico based conceptual installation artist, who works primarily with fibers and textiles. My work has developed into two main avenues of expression: strong, colorful designs; and concepts. I consider my work to be messages or prompts for viewers to expand their awareness and visibility. My design series uses a strong color palette with vivid patterns, and my conceptual installations beckon viewers to interact, digest and understand the social issues I bring forth.

In many of my large site-specific conceptual installations, there are comprehensive ideas built into the finished pieces. Sometimes these pieces incorporate the use of additional forms of communication (e.g., Braille, Morse code, visualized sound wave frequencies, and energy fields), to express my intention.

My concepts focus on social issues of oppression, racism, abject classism and corruption, all whilst juxtaposed against deliberate underlying themes of positivity. Having lived in Puerto Rico for the past 19 years I have been educated and witness to these issues, which has created the impetus in my path to becoming the artist I am today. I am currently a first year graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, under the direction of Nick Cave.
