Drawing from her experience as a Latina feminist, Bonomi uses reggaeton culture—its lyrics, imagery, and sound—to examine how female desire is both encouraged and, at the same time, regulated. In nightlife spaces, reggaeton becomes one of the few contexts where women can openly express their sexual desire; at the same time, these environments are marked by misogynistic narratives and structural risks of harassment and violence. This contradiction requires constant self-regulation, where women must filter and limit the expression of their desire as a form of protection. Within this tension, guilt emerges as a response to the impossibility of fully reconciling desire, safety, and feminist identity.
Through the use of edible and transferable materials—such as chocolate, communion wafers, and alcohol—within printmaking and performance, she materializes her guilt in order to consume it, transform it, discard it, embrace it, or reframe its meaning.
Her work moves between intimacy and exposure, using text to transform private thoughts into shared experiences that invite viewers to reflect on their own relationship with desire and guilt.
