My recent work is a combination of ambiguous biomorphic shapes and architectural forms that interact in strange environments that explore the themes of my heritage, sexuality, fertility and aging body.

I started becoming interested in blood cells, DNA, symbols and drawings from my Inca, and Chinese background. How they carry the essence of who I am, where do I come from, and how that makes me who I am. Was I predestined to be what I am?

As I age, I want to show how pain is seen through the lens of memory. How the pain is transforming and traveling to different areas of my body and changing into images in my mind. They become sharp piercing shots that travel through the nerves evoking colors of blues,whites, reds, violets and greens.
