“Heaven for the Unwanted”

Through an extensive exploration with portraiture, my work emphasizes dynamic approaches  related to religion, sexuality and identity, and in some cases, (particularly in colonized countries) such as Puerto Rico. My photographs have the ability to coexist within the many styles of photography, with great attention to technical prophecies, unique lighting and composition, vivid color and tonal choices all of which enhance visual impact. 

"Heaven for the Unwanted'' is a comprehensive exploration aimed at understanding the intricate dynamics between religion, sexuality, and colonization within LGBTQIA+ communities, particularly in colonized regions. This project seeks to dissect the complex interplay of these factors, shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+ within religious contexts influenced by colonial legacies. With deep research, interviews, and community engagement processes, "Heaven for the Unwanted'' aims to uncover the historical and contemporary narratives surrounding the intersection of religion and sexuality in colonized regions. By examining the impact of colonization on religious beliefs and attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ individuals, the project seeks to address the systemic discrimination and marginalization experienced by this community.
