Passing stories to (and for) eachother is a way to bear witness and caretake the ethnosphere.
Verónica’s works are field notes of the human experience. Enjoying many mediums of expression, she is voraciously curious - which has led her to falling in love with the world as she explores- its shadow and its light. As this love overflows, it pours out of her in a form of creation, a piece of work. She hopes you enjoy some of what she loves, and continue to stay curious about the wonders of everythingness.
