Favi is an Indigiqueer Chamoru/Mexican multidisciplinary artist and photographer based on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, Lummi Nation, Lhaq'temish, and the Nooksack Tribe. Their creative practice serves as a vessel for storytelling, cultural reclamation, and visual intimacy, drawing deeply from the resilience of Indigenous ways of being. Through their art, Favi celebrates kinship, intersectional identities, and the enduring power of ancestral knowledge while offering a space for healing, remembrance, and reimagination.

Favi's work reflects a profound journey of connection—between land and ocean, spirit and matter, past and future. Inspired by the cultural significance of Chamoru pottery, pictographs, and traditional Mexican artistry, they merge ancient storytelling with contemporary practices such as graphic design, modern carving, block printing, and photography. This synthesis creates symmetrical, linear compositions and evocative images that resonate with the sacred balance inherent in Indigenous cosmologies.

In both their digital art and photography, Favi explores themes of identity, kinship, and resilience. Their photographs, characterized by radical honesty and tenderness, invite viewers to witness a world where love, identity, and nature coexist harmoniously. Each piece reflects the spirit of Indigenous resilience, queer joy, and the ongoing struggle for visibility and self-expression.

Favi’s art and photography transform ancestral forms into contemporary narratives, centering voices and histories often silenced by colonial systems. Their work honors the rhythms of the natural world—the ebb and flow of the ocean, the rootedness of the land, and the transcendent spirit of their ancestors—while envisioning futures grounded in Indigenous knowledge.

Ultimately, Favi’s practice is a testament to cultural survival and the power of storytelling. It challenges colonial frameworks and celebrates Indigenous sovereignty, creating space for belonging and connection. Each piece is an offering to the lands they live on and the interconnected stories that shape our collective existence.
