La Matriarca (The Matriarch), began with my love and admiration for my grandmother, Cristina Jimenez. A woman who sacrificed a cozy life in the Dominican Republic to bring me and my family to the United States. Our immigration and subsequent assimilation led to very little knowledge of my countries past and the loss of a valuable trade.

All photographs developed using mint tea. All photos are fixed for archival purposes.
Una Muerte Anunciada is a mini series visualizing my personal journey healing from sexual assault.
