Xica was born one year before the conclusion of this project. She became a key piece of my life when I first decided to paint my eyebrows turquoise and venture myself through the New York City nightlife.

The film follows Xica through her skin, the canvas where she comes into life, as the both colorful and quiet space of hiding and revealing, of self-exposure and modesty, of presentation and shame, or veiled allure and absolute vulnerability where identity is played out and staged.
