My interdisciplinary practice honors nostalgia as a radical emotional celebration of diasporic Puerto Rican identity and resistance. Through research and archival examinations of family lore, spiritual practices, and block culture, I create installations using votive wax sculptures to represent tools of cultural endurance. This material, which is always reclaimed and reformed, burns in tribute during site-specific public performances. They activate the codes of protection passed down through intergenerational conversations about collective memory, transformation, and self-determination. My practice presents an opportunity to critically embrace evidence of the past while reclaiming the potential of a liberated future.
