Artist statement

In my artistic research, I explore the violence against vulnerable bodies manifested in multiple practices of a macho, colonialist, eurocentric, and patriarchal society. I employ diverse techniques and mediums to create feminist insubordination discourses that transform my work into a means of denunciation, sharing, and healing. Only denunciation, from the violated to the violated, can protect and save us.
