Un Nuevo Normal, 2020, animation, 1480 x 1080 pixels

My work explores storytelling as a tool to help others build empathy for the lived experience of marginalized communities. Focusing on digital mediums such as video, animation, and web apps, I search for ways to incorporate interactivity, connection, and emotion ― effective tools to immerse viewers and facilitate empathy. Passionate about positive social change, I create art to tell stories that culturally resonate. Those who tell stories shape culture, and those who shape culture, shape politics. As Maya Angelou once said,“[people] may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
