Growing up in Bushwick has been an ongoing journey of self-discovery. Through the lens of my artwork, I celebrate my strength and honor my memories that have shaped my identity. Bushwick is not only a location; it

Laughter can distract us from our problems. It allows us to shift our focus away from the worries we are experiencing, giving us a break from stress and allowing us to gain a new outlook.  Laughter can help us find grace and hope in challenging situations. It allows us to see the humor or irony in our struggles, allowing us to approach them with a more positive mindset. It doesn't mean that we are ignoring our problems, but rather finding a way to navigate through them with a little humor.

Life's traumas, often messy and hard contribute to shaping our stories. The scars and imperfections become a part of our individual stories, adding meaning and strength to our experience.
