In my illustrations, I aim for different cultures to coexist within the same space, with the purpose of generating new narratives. On this occasion, I choose symbols from my nation to reconsider the Latin American context, where colonial neoliberal policies, anti-environmentalism, and anti-feminism are gaining more power. In a context where hard-won rights are threatened, it becomes necessary to rethink artistic practices. While engaging in debates might be challenging for me, I opt for cuteness as a mode of self-defense, drawing inspiration from kawaii aesthetics and the Asian influences that have shaped my work over the years.
