Lo Sentimos Puerto Rico

Lo Sentimos Puerto Rico (We Are Sorry Puerto Rico) is more than a project—it's an act of collective reflection, healing, and restitution. It is a heartfelt apology to an island that has endured generations of exploitation, environmental degradation, political corruption, and cultural erasure. Through the power of visual storytelling, this initiative seeks to uncover, document, and share the overlooked and often silenced narratives of Puerto Rico’s past and present struggles.

At its core, Lo Sentimos Puerto Rico is about truth and reclamation. The artwork created for this project will serve as both a tribute and a tool—crafted into meaningful merchandise that carries these stories far beyond the island. Each piece sold will help amplify awareness and spark conversations across communities, encouraging Puerto Ricans and allies alike to reconnect with history and honor resilience.

Proceeds from these efforts will support a deeply personal mission: the restoration of ALIVIXI’s ancestral home in Guánica. This is not just a property—it is a symbol of resistance, heritage, and hope. The long-term vision is to transform this space into a sanctuary for Puerto Ricans, potentially as a historical site or cultural hub dedicated to native voices, education, and preservation.

While the exact plans for the site are still taking shape, the intention is clear: to protect and preserve a space that belongs to the people of Puerto Rico—a space that tells their story, safeguards their identity, and uplifts their future.
