Tell Me Your Tree Story - Shared Dialogue Shared Space 2026 Award
More great news! I’ve received the Shared Dialogue Shared Space 2026 Award by the Kore Art Forum (KAF) to develop my project Tell Me Your Tree Story.
Tell Me Your Tree Story is a public art and community-driven initiative that interweaves cultural heritage and environmental awareness through participatory art-making. Inspired by the legendary tale of Anahí—a young Indigenous woman from Latin America who resisted conquest and found transformation in the form of a Ceibo (Coral Tree)—the project reimagines this ancestral narrative as a symbol of resilience and the enduring bond between humanity and the natural world. Through visual, performative, and community storytelling, it also explores how folklore shapes Latine identity within the ongoing experience of diaspora.
Shared Dialogue Shared Space is Korea Art Forum's flagship initiative that provides a platform to support artists in creating innovative and thought-provoking works in community hubs such as parks, streets, and plazas throughout New York City, amplifying diverse artistic voices and perspectives in public spaces. https://www.kafny.org/
ArtCake Residency
I’m thrilled to share that I joined the ArtCake Residency program last week (07.01.25)! I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity to bring my upcoming projects to life and feel deeply inspired to explore new ideas in this vibrant environment.
Located in a converted industrial building from the 1920s, the space takes its name from its previous uses as a patisserie and paint distribution factory. https://artcake.org/residency

Word Powered: Exploring Free Speech Through Art
National Liberty Museum, Philadelphia
February 7, 2025 - September 8, 2025
This exhibition examines the dynamic relationship between censorship, freedom of expression, and diverse perspectives. Bringing together a range of voices, mediums, and subject matter, the exhibition challenges visitors to reflect on their role in safeguarding our right to free speech, and better understand how language can be manipulated, suppressed, or celebrated.
My work in this show is Construyo-Destruyo. For diaspora and immigrant communities, language often serves as a powerful marker of identity, resilience, and solidarity. In Construyo-Destruyo, I delve into this essential question through the lens of storytelling, exploring its capacity to bridge differences and foster empathy. By amplifying diverse voices, I emphasize the importance of ensuring that all voices are heard, valued, and respected.
Sprung9 at Arthouse.nyc
One of my photographs from the series As Above So Below was featured on the Big Screen Plaza in Midtown Manhattan. This series explores the interconnectedness between the natural world and human perception, reflecting on how what lies above mirrors what is within and below. I’m grateful to @arthouse.ny for this unique opportunity to share my work in a public space.
Three photographs from this series are also on view as part of the Spung9 exhibition at ARTHOUSE.NYC, running from March 9 through March 23, 9 West 8th Street, New York, NY.
