"Mariposa Eyes" is a handmade needle-felted butterfly crafted from wool, reused materials, and a mirror. The yellow butterfly with blue accents and green vines symbolizes transformation and cultural heritage, while the eyes on the wings and the mirror at its center invite self-reflection. This piece embodies the journey of personal growth and the connection between identity and culture.

"New Directions" is a print that features a grid of squares adorned with floral patterns in a gradient of colors. The design combines a structured layout with the organic flow of the flowers, symbolizing growth and change. The phrase "Growing in New Directions" at the top ties the piece together, capturing the essence of personal and creative evolution.

"With Time" features two figures holding a large pot with a flower reaching towards the sun. Drawing inspiration from the god of time, the piece uses color to show that even when we feel subdued, growth is still taking place. The figures are rendered in subdued hues, emphasizing that, while growth may not always be visible, it unfolds gradually as time passes.

"Casita" captures the cozy charm of home with the artist's two cats and the distinctive hanging lightbulbs of a basement space. Featuring a mix of Peruvian and Guatemalan decor alongside a Filipino spoon and fork, the piece offers a glimpse into a mixed-culture home.
