Trained as an architect, deconstructed as an artist. My artwork understands disobedience, as a device for critically dissecting reality and stimulating provocations to reimagine architecture through unlearning or breaking conventional power structures. My work renders an archipelago of themes such as queerness, urban memory, landscape, street-culture, architecture, and mediums of protest against totalitarianism. My research aims to become a canvas to propel and advance the critical discourse of architecture amid Nicaragua’s sociopolitical context. I’m from Masaya, The City of Flowers, of a generation surviving the ghosts of past and new regimes and social revolutions. From a time when the shape of history is so liquid and volatile, it resembles the volcanic landscape from the Pacific Coast.
