What does it mean to be stardust? Can divinity be claimed, and not bestowed? This piece reimagines sacred ritual on a cosmic scale, a play between planes, body and energy.

​Resting within a glowing field, she does not perform or seek approval. The work honors stillness as sacred, suggesting divinity as something lived and felt internally.

​This painting reflects the repeating cycles that shape life, from planetary motion to daily human behavior. Inspired in part by eclipse projection drawings I encountered in the home museum of Benjamin Banneker, the work considers how cosmic rhythms quietly guide nature, society, and our sense of time.

Who has the authority to grant forgiveness and belonging to us? The work imagines baptism as a personal act, an inward commitment to care, accountability, and self-love.

​Women are central to healing. The healing symbols are drawn from my family’s spiritual backgrounds: my grandmother’s Santería, Taíno indigenous healing practices, and Christianity of my Lebanese ancestors. I reflect on the place in the universe for multiple beliefs and types of knowledge.

​Composed as a five-panel mosaic recalling altars and churches, the work blends ancient ideas of divinity with contemporary icons of power, transformation, and imagination. Transforming a plane into a three-dimensional world, she is a superhero hovering between dimensions.

​Space, time, and relationships begin to tear apart. Bodies appear fragmented, drifting in and out of connection. The work asks whether, in moments of collapse, we hold one another with care, or just perform, or cause further harm. Across cultures, stories of creation always carry stories of destruction.

Five interrelated works exploring the relationship between the self, nature and divinity. Drawing from self-portraits, the Dominican folklore figure La Ciguapa, these pieces merge myth, science, and autobiography.

Step into the mythical world of La Ciguapa, an elusive figure from the folklore of La Hispaniola (present-day Dominican Republic and Haiti. La Ciguapa is believed to dwell in the woods and rivers of La Hispaniola. Known for her long, flowing hair and backward feet that make her impossible to track, folklore holds that she can only be captured during a full moon, but if held in captivity, she perishes.

My hometown carries one of the oldest Santería music traditions in the island, so drums (Congos) are part of my definition of home.

Rousillon, in South France, has ochre mines - like those referenced by Cezanne. This is my Caribbean take on that place: a color burst, and dancing lines. The difference in textures is achieved through experimentation on wet and dry pastel applications.

A highly performatic piece - the top layer is finished directly with hands, utilizing very energetic body movement spanning across the canvas.

All stories of creation have angry gods. If you look at the dancing fire in the painting, you will find that they are painted directly with fingers but also my nails have scratched and destructed what I created. Body movement is key in this process.

There are two seasons in the Dominican Republic: Summer and Hell. When Summer treats you kindly, and you smile at the bright sky, and blossoms are all around you: that is the topic of this painting.

A few times a year, I feel like I have a memory into the future. I will live a more modern life, and I have these electrical portals to take me away from the life that I have been living.

I often have dreams within dreams, and sometimes nightmares within dreams. It’s like the sidewalk full of tents, where you feel trapped and never seem to be able to exit.
