New Junkie, Jacquard Woven, as the name suggests, mixes Renaissance-inspired design with elements of modern street culture, like graffiti. At first, they may seem completely unrelated, but I wanted to combine them to create an unexpected sense of chic.

Sok' (translated to peace, love, and prosperity in Lao and Khmer) focuses on the art of weaving, with supporting prints highlighting auspicious motifs in Lao and Khmer culture. At a young age, my parents journeyed from Laos and Cambodia to America, escaping their war-torn homes in search of a better life. While the lands they left behind were devastated, the culture and spirit remained. To pay homage to their stories and contribute my own, Sok is a cultural expression of my family's native lands.
Designed for interiors, the collection includes hand woven and jacquard woven fabrics, a hand woven rug, and hand drawn prints.

I have seen my father transition from the man who provided the world for us to a man fighting an incurable illness from the inside out. He manages the daily toll of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with a grace and grit that most could never summon. His endurance in the face of such hardship says it all. My dad is a superhero.
Portraits of Self

When was five years old, my parents brought my sister and I to Canada from Cuba, followed by many more moves every few years. I formed a pattern of introducing myself, getting to know people, saying goodbye, then doing it all over again. This cycle of yearning for connection and understanding has manifested itself into my artistic practice. I feel compelled to create artwork through performance, photography, film, fashion, and music in order to reconcile with the fragmented nature of identity and interpersonal relationships.
My life and artistic practice have been a constant rejection of being put into a box. Despite society's desire to categorize, I believe humans contain multitudes and should not be forced to dilute themselves in order to succeed. As an immigrant, a new girl, a performer, a young woman finding herself, I have held onto the art of transformation as a way to portray the millions of identities that live inside me. My hope is that as I become more empowered with this truth, so will the audience with their own infiniteness.
'Portraits of Self' is a series of self portraits depicting dramatizations of cinematic and cultural archetypes to represent the fragmented nature of personal identity. Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung wrote that "our personalities divide themselves into these characters to play out the drama of our lives". Creating this work will allow me to reconcile with the fact that I am not just one thing, but a sum of all parts. Simultaneously, it will highlight the inherent connectivity between humans, as archetypes symbolize the "collective unconscious" of the human race.
Shot in studio and with close attention to hair, makeup, and styling, each character archetype represents a different facet of the human condition, within the context of my life story and personal experience. The artist does not attempt to hide herself in these characters - showing tattoos, piercings, and other adornments as another representation of the self.

In a chaotic, fast paced world, we often lose touch with the past and the foundations that shape who we are. Rooted Stillness is a self portrait that illustrates a moment of pause and reflection, connecting me to my identity. Over the past four years, my work has evolved from a focus on technique to a more intentional exploration of storytelling and self representation. Showcasing a deeper understanding of my artistic voice.

This is an ad for Jefferey Campbell, the last of my Thesis Series, "The Digital Girl."
Through self-portraiture, I crafted and executed narrative advertisements for fashion brands. I will identified each brand's image to tell my version of it through photos and videos, incorporating graphics and alternate materials that amplify the relationship with the internet, femininity, and self-obsession.
The digital girl is the oversaturation of femininity and technology on social media. She represents the way we are accustomed to simultaneously exist online and in person. In a digital age, our existence is composed of who we are on the internet as who we are in real life; The two influence each other and become one in the same. Fashion photography makes a home for consumers online and specifically, on social media. This theme shows up consistently in social media fashion photography. I seek to continue to embrace the inevitability and oversaturation of this overarching theme of the digital girl in fashion photography.

Gloria was a radiant source of warmth and positivity. After her Alzheimer's diagnosis, her optimistic persona slowly disappeared. This project acts as a visual representation of how a neurocognitive disorder can affect an individual and their loved ones. The installation aims to mirror her disoriented perspective and fragmented memory.

The work contains two perspectives: my cousin navigating two cultures, and me trying to understand my own through him. Every photograph becomes a way for me to reconnect with parts of my heritage that felt distant: family traditions, language, and cultural experiences. My cousin lives within those experiences. Through this journey, I find a way to become part of them, too.

Foreign Art, Foreign Land is a photographic and documentary project that reflects on the displacement of cultural heritage and the global conversations surrounding restitution. Using cardboard replicas of sculptures and artifacts displaced from countries that were once colonized, the project photographs these objects within landscapes, cities, and communities connected to their cultural origins.
Through interviews with archaeologists, historians, and people connected to the cultures represented in the work, the project gathers voices and perspectives that will inform a future documentary and book.
By imagining these objects back within their cultural landscapes, the work invites viewers to reflect on memory, belonging, cultural identity, and the journeys objects take when they are removed from their places of origin.

Located in the heart of East New York, my aunty's two-bedroom apartment, 3R, became a defining space in my life beginning in the summer of 2013.
For nine years, six of us cramped in the apartment, where daily life required patience, humility, and resilience. Limited space, unresolved repairs, bucket showers, and air mattresses were part of our routine, yet we supported one another through each challenge.
This series honors the quiet resilience of immigrant families and reflects on the meaning of home, survival, and perseverance.

Portraits in Exile

I owe so much to the female Iranian pop divas I grew up listening to; those who forever shaped Iranian sound, history, and culture. Growing up Iranian-American, the images of these women allowed me to see the beauty and strength of my identity. I learned to see myself as part of a culture that prized a particularly powerful form of femininity. This work is my homage to these women, especially those silenced or forced to flee their homeland after the 1979 Iranian Revolution.
In pre-revolutionary Iran, female pop stars freely expressed individuality through their style, presence, and sound. After the revolution, their album covers were now produced in exile and smuggled back into Iran. These "portraits in exile" trace the repression Iranian women faced, the regime's struggle against Western influence, and the cultural stagnation that emerged from suppressing feminine expression.

Feel free to settle in as I present memories I don't remember.
This child is no longer here, her name died alongside her.
Her spirit still lives within me, being protected at all costs.
Although I am not physically there with you, let's relive this moment of time together...
May the future hold memories worth remembering.

Photography and text have become two parts of my personal language. The work grows from a willingness to express vulnerability. A domestic obstruction, otherwise neglected, becomes a mural of memory once addressed. Experiences are confronted and bound within pages– shaping personal recollections into a shared narrative.

The hobby of building plastic model cars requires dedication and patience in order to complete a miniature reality of whatever car the builder has dreamed of. The road to completion is similar to building a life-sized vehicle, only scaled down to fit inside a shoe box once finished. My focal point in this series goes well beyond the model cars themselves to focus on the people who build them. Young and old, their passion for building these cars is a way to escape daily life, a way to own multiple cars when they don't have the garage space for more, and a way to relive childhood dreams but with adult motor skills.
