Her work draws from family photos, opening the picture plane to reveal hidden figures and symbols—like a girl with a paper train set or a phone call stretched across distance.

Cracks and cutaways echo the fractures of a family split between Guatemala and Los Angeles. As viewers move, the story changes: a bus carries hope, a father emerges from the flat surface. Folded Memories turns personal longing into a quiet, powerful visual language about connection and resilience.
