BIENVENIDO AL OÁSIS (In Progress)

In this new series, I am thinking about what the oásis might look like, what it signifies, and what it can be. Ideologically, the oásis (purposefully spelled with the tilde) is a place of refreshment, of vital nourishment, of what you need but didn’t know you wanted. In theory, the oásis is a bodega as well - it supplies what is missing, fills an unwritten void. Through this visual investigation I hope to re-imagine what oásis could look like, what it can represent, and even what it falsely promises us.

These images and following work are engaged with dialogues surrounding new-age reggaetón, rest as revolutionary, and a cultural globalization. More information to come.
