Patria y Vida: Ganaremos 2021
I was awarded a City Artist Corps grant to fund my first-ever solo gallery. My show, "Patria y Vida: Ganaremos" was an exhibit centered around my Cuban heritage and a 14-day trip that my brother and I went on in May of 2019. The show consisted of 10 26x36inch framed prints, 8 9x7inch prints, and various other artifacts to make you feel more of an immersive experience.
