Her recent and ongoing work, Baci, Piccoli Baci, Grandi Baci, is about meeting her father for the first time.

A part of this project is permanently exhibited in the New Americans Museum. Overall, Quetzal seeks to create space for personal therapeutic processes while dismantling and exploring ideas surrounding immigration, connection, family dynamics, and identity.
