I am an eternal dance of transformation—a product of diverse origins, woven as a distinct thread within the tapestry of the U.S.–Mexico border. I move through life to the rhythm and beat of cumbi*—an echoing heartbeat that defines my journey as a fronteriza. Her purpose lies in deconstructing the *fronteriza* identity—venturing into obscure and transformative spaces where dispossession, geography, ritual, and the shadows of violence converge. I embrace unfinishedness, mistranslation, multivocality (having multiple voices), ambiguity, and playfulness. My work often incorporates water, clay, and seeds to create a visceral embodiment of stuck-ness—a sensation that arises when internal or external borders are touched. It is a palpable reminder of constraint, inertia, and potential. My practice includes deep listening, long city walks, observing silence, meditating, and moving—rituals that prime my body to remain open throughout the creative process.…I am an eternal dance of transformation—a product of diverse origins, woven as a distinct thread within the tapestry of the U.S.–Mexico border.
