Here For You, 2025

I was commissioned by the Seattle Public Library to photograph six branches for the Here For You campaign, designed to boost awareness and library card sign-ups.

My images highlighted each branch’s architecture, atmosphere, and unique history, later combined with illustrations to create collectible postcards in a collage format. I focused on reocurring colors, symbols, and patterns recognizable to patrons, creating visual cohesion across branches while reflecting each library’s distinct personality. 

These are the tree of the six locations.

Retrato: Conectandonos Más

Conectándonos Más ("Connecting Us More"), , is a 3-month youth program by Movimiento Afrolatino Seattle, designed to educate and inspire young people to reconnect with their ancestral roots and explore the cultural contributions of Afro-descendant communities in Latin America. My participation consisted of two part:

 1. I documented the youth participation photographically and produced a short documentary film highlighting the participants’ experiences and the overall impact of the program. 

2. Facilitated a two-hour parcipatory workshop session “Retrato: Mobil Photography” for the youth participants. This resulted in a final installation showcasing the student self portraits mixed with my photographs of the program and participants.

PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION

I collaborated with La Realeza Collective to design a t-shirt that reads “Es Mejor Encender La Luz Que Maldecir La Oscuridad” — translated as “It is better to turn on the light than to curse the darkness.”

I also directed and photographed the promotional imagery.
