I’m a Cuban graphic design student who migrated to the United States in 2011. I
enjoy creating impactful art that raises awareness about environmental
issues. My work focuses on visual storytelling through illustrative styles that
spark emotion and inspire action. My pieces lean into abstraction as a way to
explore the connection between who I are, where I come from, and how I
relate to the natural world.

Title: Clean Water is a Right, Not a Toxic Fright
This stencil design uses metaphor and bold contrast to raise awareness
about the link between pollution in storm drains and ocean contamination.
The phrase “Clean Water is a Right, Not a Toxic Fright” aims to be both
educational and emotionally striking, letting the public know to take
ownership of their impact on the environment. The wave shape symbolizes
water flowing through our communities, while the trash represents
common things that often end up in storm drains. By placing this stencil
near storm drains, the public is reminded that their actions affect water
quality and marine life. The design seeks to inspire more conscious disposal
habits and emphasize clean water as a basic human right. The goal is to
create a lasting visual impression that stops people in their tracks, gets
them thinking, and hopefully gets them acting more responsibly.
