This work is a reflection and exploration of my connection to the Taino culture, something passed down through my mother's stories, even before DNA testing confirmed it. Her insistence on our indigenous heritage left a lasting impression, and as I unravel the mysteries of my ancestry, I delve into modern tools like AI to reconstruct an imagined history. "First Contact" embodies these explorations, blending memory, dream, and fragmented history into a visual narrative that honors a people erased by violence but still resonant in my consciousness.Noel Caban - First Contact. pdf
