I’m Sahara Romero, a 21-year-old Hispanic visual artist studying cinema and communication. I was born and raised in Montreal in a family of eight. Growing up, my siblings and I would make small skits with a Hitachi Hybrid camcorder. This was a way for us to bond and express ourselves, and inspired my passion for filmmaking.
My artwork reflects my deep contemplation of humans’ relationships, with one another and with the environment. I tend to be mindful of waste when creating art, which is why I upcycle materials. These interests also led me to find my passion for scenography and develop a strong appreciation for diverse storytelling techniques, including visual, auditory and innovative approaches. @draaa.ca
