Vika Borjas Video ((exclusive)) ✦ Works 100%

Sound is as central to the video’s affective power as image. The soundtrack weaves together three strands:

Vika Borjas emerged from a bicultural background—born to a Venezuelan mother and a Cuban father, raised in the United States, and educated in visual arts at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This hybrid lineage informs every creative decision she makes, and the video in question can be read as the culmination of a decade-long exploration of transnational selfhood. According to an interview with Nylon (2023), Borjas conceived the project during a period of heightened political turbulence in Latin America and a personal reckoning with the “invisibility” she felt as a second‑generation immigrant. The video thus functions not only as an artistic statement but also as a therapeutic act of reclaiming narrative agency.

“A forgotten video, a lighthouse’s beam, and two women’s stories that refuse to fade.”
