In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
I believe in Mother Nature above all things. As humans, everything we should aspire to do is to respect, learn and protect our planet. I believe in the intersectionality of struggles and with my work I long to support, enhance and be in service of those who are in the frontlines fighting for our planet and our human rights.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
With my work I try to manifest the possibility for a thriving ecosystem of LGBTQIA+ rights, Indigenous Voices and social justice. I believe the answers we long for reside in the individuals that inhabit de so called “margins”. There is nothing I respect more than being a part of those ecosystems and being in conversation with those who are fighting every day for a freer planet.
