“A little piece of Nicaragua” is my first official exhibition where I can showcase Nicaragua in relief print. There is always the political and social issues about Nicaragua and Central America overall, but to take a breather, I instead focused on the beauty and simplicity by creating works that were in the range of botany, folklore, Chorotega acknowledgement, and the miscellaneous enjoyments that make Nicaragua - well, Nicaragua!
