I am an interdisciplinary mixed media artist and conceptual documentary photographer from Colombia based in New York. I have a background in biology and I am fascinated with the brain, human consciousness, and its ability to expand and transform.
My projects are research-based and experimental. They invite chance, and collaboration to delve into human perception, memory, and emotions. I am interested in marginal spaces, that which resides outside of the status quo and is often excluded by society.
Growing up with a schizophrenic father, in an anxious family system, and in a country that has normalized war and violence, I am drawn to how trauma affects our emotions, mental health, and relationships. I am fascinated by the potential that art and social bonds offer to heal and transcend.
I graduated from the New Media Narratives program at the International Center of Photography in NYC as a recipient of the Mary Ellen Mark Memorial Scholarship and a Director’s Fellowship.
My work has been exhibited in festivals and venues like Photo Vogue Festival (Milan), Ph Museum Days (Italy), Currents New Media Festival (Santa Fe, California), Month of Photography in Los Angeles, Lens Culture Emerging Talent (NY) and Foam (Amsterdarm), Berlin Photo Week, and Lumix festival (Germany). In 2021 I was selected Foam Talent, received the Excellence in Multimedia Storytelling award by Center Santa Fe, and earned the 1st prize of The PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant. In 2022 I was selected to exhibit my work in the Museum of Contemporary art in Zagreb, Croatia as part of the 12th edition of the Organ Vida Festival.
