From Medina:
My work emerges at the intersection of ritual, archive, and identity. Rooted in both conceptual art and Caribbean lineage, I construct systems—visual, linguistic, and spiritual—that reimagine how the self is shaped, fragmented, and remembered. What follows is not an artist statement in the traditional sense. It is a map. A rhythm. A ritual of return.
