Sacred Puta Project, 2020

Sacred Puta is a multidisciplinary art project that I conceived and produced to challenge polarized cultural narratives around femininity, virtue, and desire. The project began as an exploration of what it might look like to hold sexual liberation and spiritual integrity within the same body—rejecting the notion that desirability and trust, or sensuality and holiness, must exist in opposition. Over time, the work expanded into a broader examination of gender, embodiment, and self-authorship in collaboration with LGBTQ+ communities. The project included a gallery exhibition in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a published art book, a series of live events in Brooklyn, and the production of a short film. All visual content—models, styling, hair and makeup, and production—was created in collaboration with members of the communities represented, centering art made with and for the people it reflects. Sacred Puta demonstrates my ability to develop a complex conceptual framework and bring it to life through collaborative, community-rooted, and fully realized artistic production.
