This work explores my connection to the Taino culture, 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 use 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 yet still resonant in my consciousness.
