Synopsis

Lullabies is a fake autobiography in which the artist explores the semantics and signification that add to the complexities and chaos of Dominican Spanish, and uses them as inspiration to create narratives. It is the story of a boy who speaks in images – sometimes revealing himself and sometimes remaining invisible through abstraction.
