‘The Mirror Border’ was an interactive piece that consisted of cut out survival/emergency blankets in the form a border wall or detention centre. Installed for a solo show titled Re-constructions at Artcite Inc. Windsor, Ontario
‘Erasing La Frontera’ is inspired by the communal tradition of floor design making meant for public display in religious festivities in Central America. Installed at The Santa Fe Art Institute audiences were invited to interact with the floor drawing by simply walking across it. In the act of doing so the border wall as effectively erased by the end of the exhibition’s opening night.

‘Monument’ featured a chainlink fence with barbed wire around atop the enclosure. This piece exhibited other ephemeral objects that allude to El Salvador’s collective memory of loss and violence. I created a funereal- like garden where soil, moss, branches, flowers and shoes where used as context for processing personal experience, family history and historical trauma.
