Additionally, In October 2024, he was commissioned by the City of San Diego to showcase his artwork on over 45 IKE Smart Cities kiosks throughout the city (from November 2024-April 2025). Corrales’s was one of WOO! Studios’s first two artists-in-residence (from DATE to July 8, 2025).

Fedella Lizeth’s residency at WOO! Studios culminated in her exhibition, Browns and Blues, which served as a visual meditation on healing, identity, and transformation—created through experimentation with softness, sculptural forms, and nontraditional materials. Curator Bucky Montero writes, “Fedella’s work is tender and raw, capturing the unfiltered beauty of everyday life while deeply reflecting the cultural essence of San Diego. Her photography reveals the city’s ‘browns and blues’—the earthy tones of resilience, heritage, and history, contrasted with the deep blues of nostalgia, movement, and the boundless horizon that shapes our stories.”
