They received the valedictorian award in 2018 from NSCAD, and in 2020 they received the 2020 Emerging Digital Artists Award from EQ Bank. In 2022 they received an Artists in the Library grant from the Toronto Arts Council at the Oakwood Village Library and Arts Centre.

Through their practice, they upcycle and recycle textiles patched together to recontextualize the object’s meaning to explore memory, culture, and political associations. Camila has showcased in the collective exhibitions: Lived in Room Objects Frozen in Time (2022) alongside collaborator, denirée isabel, at the Mary E. Black Gallery at the Centre of Craft in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Desire(d) Paths (2022) at Lakeshore Arts in Toronto with Colectivo Satelital, and the online exhibition Archival Affections (2021).
