This symbol, which is a blend of indigenous Taino imagery from the Dominican Republic and Ancient Etruscan references from Rome, is a symbol I developed to represent my work and identity. It features Atabey, the Taino goddess of fertility and the earth, the Taino symbol of the sun and Etruscan concentric circles, olive leaves, and the colors on the Italian flag and the Dominican flag.
Based off of a sketchbook doodle and rendered digitally.

Lost in Translation: Art and Music Festival (2021) was an event that blended visual arts, music, poetry, film and performance art for a virtual audience through live video streaming. Audiences tuned in through their devices to live performances from emerging artists and musicians and browsed a virtual gallery of visual art. The festival highlighted creative explorations of ideas, emotions, cultures, language, artistic processes and techniques, identities, etc., of all kinds and a consideration for what is lost and gained in any processes of translation.

Liquid Light People
3D wall installation with projection mapping
by Eva Lia Pedriglieri
Liquid Light People is a proposed art and video installation utilizing projection mapping. A large canvas with faces is activated by the carefully choreographed projection of liquid lights and text that tell the story of a fictional group of otherworldly beings, “the liquid light people.” This conglomeration of faces represents the uncanny yet strangely familiar. The audience will experience a sense of recognition through a tainted lens of psychedelic visuals.
​
The liquid light people bring a simple message from their world: fluidity of being, inspired by futurism and liberation through music and dance!
