I explore concepts of navigation and dislocation using a variety of mediums, including works on paper and canvas, video, installations, site-specific works, and public art projects. The use of abstraction, mapping, and sampling as well as the incorporation of text in some projects, help me investigate the intricate nature of my experience as part of the Puerto Rican Diaspora and the fragmented and layered ways in which we perceive the world around (and inside) us. Abstraction in my practice serves as language and method through which I process concepts and sentiments that I find otherwise hard to artiulate. I often work with found maps and with mapping as a strategy to examine connections, territories, and the concept of distance while considering alternative geographies. The use of found and sampled text serves to explore shifts in perception, memory, and code-switching. Through my work, I aim to offer viewers multi-layered experiences that fluctuate from the retinal to the conceptual and serve as a space for contemplation.
