Based in Montreal, my practice is a continuous interrogation of cultural identity and the persistent echoes of the diaspora. My work is shaped by a childhood in revolutionary Nicaragua and a lived history of transience—a journey that explores the weight of heritage and the shifting definition of patria and home.

I navigate cultural memory by synthesizing the symbolic with the mythical. Using clay as a link to ancestry, I employ coiling, slab building, and throwing to create forms ranging from zoomorphic sculptures to commanding vessels. These works exist in a direct, reimagined dialogue with the Mesoamerican aesthetics of my youth; here, colors and textures intertwine to create hybrid sculptures that reflect the constant interplay between tradition and adaptation.

With nostalgia as my cornerstone, I aim to bring to life a sculptural language that reflects the lived realities of the diaspora experience.

Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, I am currently deepening this investigation through a raw, material-led approach. By incorporating volcanic earth, raw stone, and hand-woven natural fibers, I am moving beyond traditional ceramic boundaries. This evolution—from experimental firing methods to the future integration of sensory elements—transforms my sculptures into a total experience of memory, reclamation, and the enduring weight of the land.
