Cherish Marquez creates imaginary worlds that bridge her upbringing in the desert landscape and her interest in emergent technology. By combining interactive animation and game design with objects made from desert plants and other materials, her work explores the cultural significance of the desert to the Latinx community and its role in providing sustenance, healing, and inspiration for ritual practices.
