The artist, who grew up in the DC area as a child of Salvadoran immigrants, had always been fascinated by creating things. After attending art college in San Francisco, they returned home for the summer to spend time with friends. During this time, they began caring for a neglected dog and started noticing strange occurrences. One evening, they saw a fast-moving, ethereal black mass that seemed to keep an eye on them.
