Losas: Guayervas, 2022
This project amalgamates losas criollas (hydraulic tiles found in El Veijo San Juan, Puerto Rico) with the portrait of the taina cacica Guayervas from Otoao (Utuado, PR) who lead a rebellion against Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. Here multiple distressed layers of tiles reveal the figure of Guayervas which in the animated reel is rearranged to solve like a puzzle.
11 layers from Guayervas screen print. Layers consist of illustrations, graffiti, custom types, spray paint, and more.
Animated puzzle which is projected on street walls, gallery shows, and art festivals.
