Amy Majagua’naru Ponce is a Borikua Taino artist from New York City. She uses her photographs, drawings and text to create images that speak of remembrance with an urgency for the present.

I’m driven by capturing the assault of light filling a space or striking an object. The balance of light and shadows. A repetition of detail born to be noticed and woven to my work. I use self portraiture to re-connect to memory, time and history with a fusion of green ancestral matter to journey back home. Another way to manifest again.
