The Forest: Precious And Fragile (2022)

Media: kozo paper, handmade papers from local plants (banana pseudo-stem and leaves, majagua, grass and seaweeds)

Statement: Making handmade papers with local plants allows me to create textures and colors reminding me of the forest. With the addition of a thin Kozo paper, I am talking about a strong, regenerative, and powerful forest, which is also spiritual, fragile, and uncared for, and thus needs our protection.

Quality Time With My Loved Ones (2020)

Media: Handmade paper made with local plants like banana pseudo stem fibers, raw fibers from majagua and grass, cotton, mechanical cotton paper, handmade watercolors made with Puerto Rican stones and soils.

Statement: Now more than ever, I realize the vital importance of having quality time with my loved ones. In this work, I want to remind us that meditating, talking, playing music, singing or dancing together are powerful healing activities, which fill us with a deep sense of happiness.

Between Roots and Leaves (2020)

Media: Handmade papers made with fibers from the farm: pineapple leaves, majagua, banana pseudo-stem, cotton, grass, sansevieria plant and dry banana leaves with a weaving of raw fibers of banana stem and majagua (hibiscus elatus).

Statement: This artwork entirely made from local plants, have been created for a photography project where it was in dialogue with its environment, freely moving in the wind, through the changing daylights. While changing its appearance, the atmosphere reveals it transforming, moving, dancing, playing, breathing: living.
