Bogotá, Colombia (1992)

I work as an independent artist, architect, exhibition designer, and educator in Chicago. I am interested in the specificity of spaces and creating critical materiality to respond to the ideologies that haunt and inhabit them. My work investigates the dynamics that build spaces (public and private) and questions the ideals of progress and systems produced by the built environment and colonization processes, especially in the Colombian and Latin American diasporas; work recurrently manifests in the invocation and burials of both physical and ideological structures.
