Artist Statement
My artwork reflects an abstract perspective on everyday life. I tend to migrate towards social, political, and cultural issues in the American south. As a first generation queer LatinX photographer based in Wilmington, NC most of my current work focuses on intimate portraiture while also exploring themes of systematic poverty, migration, and queerness. My vision is to celebrate diversity and highlight beauty in traditionally underrepresented groups.
I have always been drawn to photography and as a millennial I was exposed early on to the digital world. My first camera was a flip phone. As my interest grew I started shooting a Diana F+ and then my brother’s DSLR after he upgraded to a newer model, I now shoot with a Nikon D5600.
