In an interview with Latin Post, Perdomo spoke about his new work, "The Essential Hits of Shorty Bon Bon." The collection's potent images and dulcet characters feel driven by electricity, affixed to a canvas where the three characters "persuade each other of their love, their art, and their sense of freedom."
