MUGRE (2024)

I designed the book Mugre for Rey Reyes, an interdisciplinary artist from Honduras, currently based in Providence, Rhode Island. The project expands on Rey’s short film Mugre, exploring her lived experience as an artist navigating the complexities of both her immigrant status and trans identity.

At its core, Mugre (Spanish for “filth”) challenges how queerness is often labeled as something dirty, something to be rejected or hidden. Instead, it reclaims “filth” as a symbol of endurance, resistance, and pride.

In my own culture, hair holds deep significance: it symbolizes identity and heritage. Yet, ironically, it’s also seen as unclean once it leaves the body. I was fascinated by this contradiction, this tension, the fragile beauty of what we are taught to reject, and how perfectly it resonated with the themes of Mugre.

This visual language became the foundation of the book, blurring boundaries between the personal and the political, what’s held sacred and what’s left behind.
