Statement

My art uses traditional objects and cultural activities combined with and in contrast to mass produced products creating uncomfortable compositions and tensions. Pollution, exploitation and displacement of workers is growing, creating poverty. Vibrant colors, traditional architectural spaces, rhythms and sounds that represent my identity are predominant in my work. Through community involvement, installations, sculptures, and films, I engage viewers with the complex issues globalization has brought to Nicaragua.
