“Palestine is the only portal to the future. Everyone must pass through it w/ the choice that will determine the fate of humanity. If the majority…Go the way of justice & indigenous Palestinian liberation, then humanity might have a chance at a better, gentler, more just world for us all.”

My paper piece ‘Silence Is Complicity’. “For every person that has remained silent, just know that you are not safe either. Is the imprisonment of those who speak out against a genocide a reflection of your values? Is this the kind of nation you want to live in?” —Momodou Taal

My paper piece “Transatlantic Mermaid”; she is a destroyer of colonizers. Today & every day we acknowledge & remember the victims of the transatlantic slave trade & the centuries of exploitation and racism that followed & that continue to persist today.

My paper #art celebrating the American West history of Black Cowfolk. In the 1800s at least one in four cowfolk on the Western trail were Black. Black cowfolk are a powerful part of US collective history yet the majority of their legacy has been whitewashed & written over. #blackhistory #bipocart

My paper art based on Lisa Suhair Majaj's poem 'Conversation'. The last part asks: "The children who lived, what will become of them?
Their eyes will sear holes in the night sky. Remember this when you look at the stars: that it is the burning eyes of Gaza's children that hold your gaze." #Palestine

My paper art “Diwata vs The Machine”. Diwata in Philippine myth is a term for nature spirits on Earth. The vibrant, warm & breathing force of Diwata is juxtaposed against the homogeneous hegemony of fascism — cold, artificial, violent & empty.

My paper piece inspired and titled after this haiku I wrote:
They cried so much tears
The land could not contain it —
They became mermaids.
Feeling so much sadness & anger. We need to free the world from the horrors of colonialism.

My art piece El Cantarito is an ode to my astrology sign #Aquarius. My #Filipino ♒️ paper doll wears a cocktail terno dress inspired by one worn by my Mom in the 1950s. The red pitcher also reminds me of the giant Calamba Claypot in the Philippines. "Kalamba" means "water jar".

My paper piece titled ‘The Other Sisters’. It’s not a Christmas piece. Instead it’s a tender tribute to me and my sister Stevie, and a celebration of the so-called other.
