Where's the Blue Prince? How many continents must I traverse? How many beds must I sleep in? How much effort must I exert to find him? This work acknowledges the struggle of single parents, explores interracial and international relationships, and examines the decline of commitment in marriage. Perhaps societal advancement and individualistic pursuits lead us to prioritize singlehood, despite its potential for loneliness and depression. With 7.9 billion people in the world, why do we still feel so alone? Where is the Blue Prince?

Landscapes sculpted by manicure reflect our dominance over nature. We've altered it to suit our needs, ignoring its rights. Nature, seemingly submissive, has adapted to our alterations. But can we control daily climate shifts? Urgency calls for action on climate change.

 Vibrant colors leap from the pages of the showcased books at the Door Books Installation in Gallery 21, mirroring the dynamic evolution of Caribbean culture in Wilton Manors. Supported by funding from the Broward Cultural Division, this artistic endeavor stems from a book-making workshop held at the Gallery. 

This thought-provoking work challenges prevailing societal stereotypes and values in the wake of societal shifts and pandemic-induced changes. Drawing inspiration from Eric G. Wilson's book "Against Happiness," the artwork critically reflects on radical social transformations and human experiences in contemporary society. 

A collaborative painting project involving children from CSL's youth art program shines a light on the impact of HIV in Venezuela. Proceeds from the artwork support health agencies providing services to HIV/AIDS youth in Venezuela, underscoring the transformative power of art in raising awareness and supporting social causes. 

 A series of silkscreens on recycled fabric, depicting altered shapes against the silhouette of Michelangelo's David, was showcased at Kunstzaak "Garemyn." This innovative artwork merges traditional techniques with contemporary themes, creating a visually compelling narrative.

This project focuses on the diaspora of the Venezuelan population fleeing the Maduro regime. Families have been walking for months from Venezuela across South, Central, and North America, searching for a better future. I have traveled all over the world and meet many of this displayed many of these "stars of Venezuela" globally. Currently, not only Venezuelans are affected by political strife; Syrians, Ukrainians, and Palestinians are also experiencing similar despair. This work comprises two essential elements: a performance aspect that captures the emotions and stories of the immigrants and a photographic element showcasing the feet of Venezuelan immigrants worldwide as they share their migration experiences. The project will expand to include immigrants from all nations experiencing this pilgrimage.

This installation, presented on recycled fabric, symbolizes the fracture of nations due to internal conflicts and divisions. Each piece represents a distinct entity formed post-fragmentation, prompting reflection on societal issues such as art preservation, women's rights, and political accountability.
