As a first generation American, with parents born in Colombia and Cuba, I am interested in relocation across coasts and ways we are shaped by the landscapes of home. Over the last decade, I have studied, collected, and documented remnants of modern life washed ashore the coasts of North and South America. These field studies have inspired the imagery in my work mapping coastlines and currents through the residues of our everyday lives.”
