Escapism and transformation are a part of the Queer narrative. As a young gay boy in Miami, imagination became my refuge from a traditional Latin culture that I did not fit into. Sailor Moon was the catalyst, with characters who live double lives; one mundane, one secretive and extraordinary. Through visual arts I began to explore themes of identity and Queerness, using motifs, design, and stylistic inspiration from Sailor Moon that later melded into my dance and performative arts.
