Transmedia artist intersecting gender and spirituality, envisioning alternative utopias portending to the singularity and a subsequent desire to preserve and document intimacy and queerness. Directed by color, nirvanic impulses, sentimentality, and texture, two and three-dimensional compositions are collected and arranged to reach their saturation point, determined through balance, sound or wear. A multimedia output entwines history with fiction, drawing considerations of the ephemerality of corporal spaces. Pieced together composites showcase and transform seams, revealing liminal monuments that invite a meditation on the impermanence of form, language, and the fluid nature of identity.

Experimental films and videos have been screened internationally including the NADA Art Fair, Miami (2010); the Queens Museum of Art, New York (2009); and the Reina Sofia, Madrid (2006), among other galleries and institutions.
