Isn't this relaxing?!, 2019
Influenced by pop-culture/social media-driven ideas of self-care, from DIY spa nights, stock images with motivational quotes, and Youtube ASMR videos, this video and installation was an attempt to create a relaxation room – of sorts.

body_cloud, 2019
Collaboration with dancer, Melannie Iglesias.
Within Body_Cloud, the footage of a Miami sky is being projected on the dancer. She’s taking on the identity of these white moving forms. Her movements are in reaction to the speed of change and the different shapes the clouds take on. These ever-changing clouds take on a representation of myself and my cultural identity.
Miami Sky, 2019
Projection of Miami sky footage onto ceramic cloud forms. This project is in part supported by the NCECA Graduate Fellowship. Funding the proposal of furthering projection mapping on ceramic forms.
