Through my work, I seek to engage a broader community in the act of making, sharing traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations and across cultures, interpreted in my own way. Craft techniques connect us to our identities, our histories, and to one another. By combining contemporary materials with those used for centuries, I draw upon inherited handicraft traditions to explore themes of diaspora, displacement, immigration, and cultural resilience.
My practice is deeply personal, shaped by geopolitical history, life experiences, and a profound connection to my Venezuelan roots. These narratives emerge through my hand, guided by the quiet presence of my ancestors. When brought into public spaces—both physical and digital—my work bridges past and present, tradition and innovation, and the personal and collective memory.
