STATEMENT

Through my work, I aim to engage a broader community in the act of making, sharing traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations and cultures in my own way. Craft techniques connect us to our identities, our histories, and to one another. By blending materials from this time and place with those that have been used for centuries, I incorporate inherited handicraft traditions to explore themes of diaspora, displacement, immigration, and cultural resilience.


My work is a personal narrative, shaped by geopolitical history, personal hardship, and a profound connection to my Venezuelan roots. This story can only be expressed through my hands, guided by the silent presence of my ancestors. Brought into the public sphere—both physically and digitally—my work bridges the past and present, tradition and innovation, personal and collective memory.
