My work explores the material and spiritual dimensions of embodiment, decay, collective care, and resilience through my collection of life-worn fragments that I have tended and transformed for nearly 25 years.

With great care, I deconstruct, mend, adorn, arrange, and depict these objects. My process births unlikely pairings and uncanny beings that simultaneously honor and interrogate my personal and familial relationships to labor, place, culture, and the body.

I anchor my artistic inquiries in an ongoing examination of my American-Jewish-Venezuelan identity and my ancestral Jewish traditions, Kabbalah and Mussar. These spiritual-ethical systems teach that a trace of divine light coats even the most unrecognizable, minute, and far-flung fragments. Like my body and those of my ancestors, these parts contain the residue of and recipe for co-creating HaOlam HaBa, the world we imagine is possible.
