This book is dedicated to my aunt and uncle who passed away during the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.
The bolivar has reached a level of inflation that makes it practically worthless. Due to this inflation food and medicine have been next to impossible to purchase causing people to lose their lives. People have resorted to turning the bills into kindling, drawing paper, or anything that will be actually useful. How do we reinsert value into these bills? What value do they have when people are starving?
Cuánto Vale? Cuánto Cuesta?

Coming Out
2017
digitally designed zine on paper
Coming out tends to be more for the the cisgender-heterosexual community than for individual. This piece is commentary on the concept of coming out by approaching a usually tense topic in a comedic and satirical way. In this zine, I explore coming out if it was for the person as opposed to their community, while still providing information/resources for Queer + Trans youth. These zines were left in public areas for the public to find and interact with.
