“​​My work opens a space to confront generational chains and unprocessed emotions. Jewelry and metalsmithing are my tools, my pen, my way of forging the untold stories of my ancestors. Each piece becomes a vessel where memory, lineage, and presence meet. Where ancestral knowledge guides my hands, and the past speaks through metal and fire. I push forward a vision of Indigenous futurism to break free from colonial ideologies in order to create space for liberation, healing, and expression.

As a Two-Spirit Pech artist, this craft is a gift. It carries me toward a transcendent future for sacred Pech jewelry. Collaborating with the elements themselves: earth, where the metals come from; fire, which melts, fuses, and transforms; water, which quenches and cools; and wind, the spirit that breathes life into each piece. My tools, my hands, my body, they come together to reclaim ancestral medicine that gives me purpose in this life.

My work is alive. It carries the energy of my ancestors, the lessons of my body, and the potential of the future. It reminds me, and anyone who encounters it, that creating is not only about what is made, it’s about what is remembered, reclaimed, and imagined.”
