Solo Exhibition

2025 - The Sculpture Center (Cleveland, OH)

This solo exhibition was awarded through the 2025 Revealed Emerging Artist Series at The Sculpture Center. Mi Isla y Yo is a body of work that explores the journey toward liberation and autonomy from the perspective of a kid born Trans in Borínquen. This work draws a connection between land and body—both forced into a struggle for control by powers that weaponize politics to criminalize and suppress their uniqueness. A flag once banned, a body subjected to government intervention, a land auctioned to the highest bidder—fighting to maintain our inherent nature. Through imagery rooted in formative memories, I delve into the act of resistance through authentic existence, embodying the island that shaped me.

This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.
