I work between Brooklyn and Panamá the country of my family and many of my deepest love stories. Driven by the multiplicity and intersecting history of the Americas, I draw from my family and community to speak to the soul’s place within the historical and the metaphysical. By understanding the impact of the past 500 years in the America’s, my work probes psychic, physical and economic inheritance. My work reflects on where the self is situated in time and history, while considering our future.
I make still and moving images that connect history to the present; motivated by stories told and those hidden, reinforced by structures of power - including the internalized kind. I am interested in how the soul fits, is lifted up and buried, within a history that is acted out re-staged and reinforced by mythologies. My art is informed by my clinical work in psychoanalysis. It is a consequence of my family story that psychoanalysis found me, the need for a singular reality. My practice, both art and psychoanalytic, is an effort to access love and empathy, (through empathy true subjectivity is experienced) a connection between psyche’s, through love.

Recent projects include, Birth of a Psyche, a project about the relationship of the United States origin story, mythology and the importance of biblical narratives to what we believe today. Venas Abiertas, a group of photographs that give voice to the complex, and painful story of US policy in Central America, the border and towards Latinx people living in the US.. All These Things I Carry With Me, an experimental narrative film based on transcribed interviews of my mother, and her experience of immigration from Panama to the United States. Opaque Mirror, a re-interpreting of Paul Gauguin’s work in Tahiti that imagines the work he made in Panama. Casa de Mujeres and La Negra, a group of photographs that cast my mother embodying the oral stories told to me, about the women of our family and the experience of migration.
