The “Home is where the heart is” collection speaks for itself. Originally intended as wearable memorabilia for my over-sized Chicano family’s 2024 reunion, this is a nod to everything I love about classic fantasy literature, my own "there and back again" journey over the past decade, and the importance of family in my long overdue homecoming. It’s also the perfect vibrance for my first summer back in Detroit and Michigan after many years across the country and around the world.
