Tintypes investigating the way my body can take up space in environments yet still be invalid in such spaces.

Seen but unseen, there but invisible.

"Ana y Adriana"

“Ana y Fella”

I lost my mother to breast cancer when I was 15 years old. I saw her fight the disease for almost a decade. 
I watched cancer take pieces of my mom away from me until there was nothing left.
I've never had the chance to navigate through all the feelings I've had, you could say I was not ready. It has now been almost 15 years later and I feel that I've lost her identity as my mother. Her life has slipped through my memory and now I find healing through the reclamation of her memories.
through photos and her personal objects I am "Finding Ana Rosa". This process allows me to have my mother again, this time as an understanding adult.

Investigations in Black Kink highlights individuals of color who are a part of the BDSM community.

I am interested in history's complex relationship with the way Black bodies are portrayed in early methods of photography. By learning the process of creating modern "tintypes" and ambrotypes (glass negative or positive images), I am using the medium to create a new narrative based on the way my subjects what to present thesmselves; continuing with the work of early photographers like J. P. Ball and Arthur P. Bedou.
