En Las Estrellas

I sat on the ferry while on a solo trip to New York City when I was 22. I took this during an extremely polarizing time in my life, one where I was learning what my life wasn’t and shedding my old skin. I was learning to choose life and to choose love for myself before anyone else. Yet, my past slipped through in brief echoes. My understanding of my place more and more fragmented in its trace but yet, deep down, I was never truly lost. On this trip, I made a promise to myself, that I would always choose a deeper life. Always choose to live and always choose to feel, to feel deeply and completely.

My first time visiting my family’s home country. The place of my roots and where my ancestors lived. I had always imagined in my head what it was like, especially as a child. I’d imagine the mango trees, the colorful homes, the mountains… but being there showed me it’s a whole other world. One much more intricate, complex, intense, vibrant and fascinating than I could have ever imagined. El Salvador, 2023.
