Created for Museo de la Luz, a public art event sponsored by Aguas Andinas to celebrate the restoration of the Mapocho River after years of pollution. I was one of 13 artists selected nationwide to create a large-scale light projection. Canto al Agua portrays my sister singing to the river, inspired by Indigenous Colombian water rituals, as a symbolic gesture of healing, gratitude, and renewal.

One of my first live body painting performances in Miami, presented during Art Basel at The Standard Hotel. Using natural clay pigments inspired by Indigenous cultures, I transformed yoga instructors into living canvases, creating an immersive experience where painting, movement, and the human body became one.

Inspired by the body painting traditions of the Selk'nam (Ona) people of southern Chile, this live performance took place during Art Basel Week in Wynwood. Yoga practitioners walked through the streets as living works of art, paying tribute to the creativity and cultural legacy of one of Chile's Indigenous peoples. By bringing these ancestral traditions into a contemporary urban setting, the performance created a dialogue between history, identity, and modern life.
