Encapsulating memories is an act of reverence, an acknowledgment of their significance in shaping our identities.

These are iterations are an abstract representation of life in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

A valley full of the comforts of laughter and childhood games as well as judgement and everyday difficulties.

"Encasing Memories" is a celebration—a tapestry woven from the threads of laughter, tears, love, and joy. It's an invitation to wander through the my memories, to feel the pulse my experiences, and to connect with the universal human journey. It's an ode to the beauty of the ephemeral, an acknowledgment that while moments may fleet, the impact they leave can be forever enshrined through art.

The first series was created using watercolor on paper.

This choice was deliberate, a poetic match to the fleeting and transitory nature of memories themselves. Watercolor, with its transparent hues and gentle flow, proved to be the perfect vessel to encapsulate the ephemeral essence of my recollections.

The subsequent series have been created using gouache. An evolution took place as I transitioned to the bold and vibrant medium of gouache, With its intense pigments and versatile application, the medium breathed an effervescent vivacity into the shapes and forms on the paper.
