“I like to swim, dance, and take care of plants. I like to bike, hike, and go on road trips. I’m an Aries sun with a Cancer Moon and Ascendence. On my spare time I like to write or play video games or garden. My art is about migration, femininity, my grandmother, hurt, and pain. It’s challenging, provoked, and emotional.”
