I work with a variety of mediums, principally within the realm of painting, drawing and textiles, to create images inspired by personal explorations on the notion of embodiment. My works are populated by hybrid figures that embody the many axes of my sensual reality as a Puerto Rican, a woman, a person with a chronic illness and as someone on the asexual spectrum. Within my compositions hybridity principally serves to challenge the centralization of gender, sex and desirability as modes for defining what it means to be human. Notions around national identity also come into question when these modes are challenged, considering how the performance of gendered sexual desire and desirability features heavily within contemporary cultural expression in Puerto Rico and in other Caribbean and Latin American countries.
