Perfection is boring; it’s a lie that art doesn’t need to uphold. My work prioritizes texture, irregularity, and imperfection. Through each piece, I aim to challenge preconceived notions of beauty and ugliness within aesthetic traditions. These works do not serve a fixed purpose or function. They adapt to the space they inhabit, and it is up to their owners to decide how they are lived with. My artworks are not meant to be “untouchable”. Their haptic quality is purposeful and invites viewers to reach out, to feel, to hold, even at the risk of breaking. Most of my pieces are improvised, shaped by the emotional and mental states I’m experiencing while creating. I often find myself instinctively pushing the work toward the edge of destruction near the end of the process. I draw inspiration from natural textures, such as the ocean, seashells, and rocks, all of which are deeply tied to my home in Puerto Rico.
