Tortillas
Installation
There's no better tortilla than homemade tortillas, the most important side meal in a Honduran/Latin kitchen. For this installation I not only portrayed the process and beauty of making tortillas but I also let the public help prepare guacamole and then eat it.

Power, serenity and beauty. This artwork portrays one of the many definitions of beauty, as well as a sense of confidence and superiority.

Honduras I Know

Mixed Media
This artwork address the issues that are happening inside the Honduran government, such as fear, manifestations, corruption, etc., and how these factors contribute to that part of Honduras not many get to know. Nevertheless, Honduras can also be beautiful with all its touristic locations and unique people you hang with, but its beauty is a small fraction of the bigger picture.
First vs Last Week Of School
Wood & Origami
For this project I worked with colored cardboards and wood as I recreated my uniforms for pre-school and high school. I incorporated patterns inside patterns inside patterns as the pink dresses have patterns and each wardrobe mirrors each other, as well as the meaning behind it which was to demonstrate one my long-lasting personal patterns which eventually became somehow a ritual: 5 days in uniform, one day in dress, most weeks of the year.
Intersection
Photography
That one first move you do to start something. That point where new doors are open and you just need to choose where to go. Sometimes, we don't know where to start but the moment you take that one step into the unknown there isn't a wrong step or path to take if you just keep moving forward until you find yourself or your goal.

Locura can be defined as a pathological disorder or disturbance of mental faculties in medical terms or a reckless, foolish or unreasonable action that a person performs irreflexively or recklessly. Throughout history we have seen how emotions make us do irrational things, especially self-conscious emotions.

"The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree," but I did. I was born and raised in Honduras not knowing I was half Haitian until I was eight. My father was not around that often, he was always working providing for the family. That made me grew up without knowing where my blackness came from, without knowing that I have another culture other than Honduran inside me.
