Using photographic, installation and performance-based strategies as resources for re-signification, my current work explores contemporary representations of colonialism, and the constant swaying, or ‘vaivén’ through unsolid grounds. I do so through the intersection of structures such as space, language, history and politics, with a body like mine transiting between Puerto Rico (the colony) and the United States (“the mainland”). Ultimately, my work seeks to unearth the construction of a historic heritage, using my body as the repository, colonized by multiple structures of power. Through photography, video, performance, and installation, I question the amalgamation of outcomes that arise through my lived experience as a Puerto Rican, as a diasporic migrant, as a queer person, and as a person with a disability. These intersections place me at a threshold, which mirrors the colony’s relationship to the mainland. As a result, the work leaps between the collective and the personal—the macro and the micro, as one inherently informs the other.
