Through the grime and grind of my life in The Bronx, my art reimagines my experiences and surroundings through a lens of enchantment. My work persists to see the beauty and magic of everyday life in the hood despite the grim realties of low-income living. My illustrations often tap into the nostalgia of the early 2000’s, capturing the fashion, music, and aura of my youth. I use my illustrations to tell the story of nuanced moments of my upbringing in The Bronx, narrating experiences of body shaming in adolescence and the search for acceptance within white-dominated alternative interests.
