Entry 001 / 27 October 2026
Following the route
in reverse.
A childhood mask. A sculpture. My mother’s journey from Puerto Rico to New York, and the connection I’m learning to follow back.

An open notebook
Come with a question.
Stay for the conversation.
There is room here for essays, small discoveries, research, films and journeys as they unfold. I’m building a place to share the work and to hear what it brings up for you.
