I am a multidisciplinary artist and photographer whose work is deeply rooted in personal experience, cultural identity, family traditions, and social issues. My practice explores both the darker aspects of life and the beauty that can exist alongside them. Through my work, I examine subjects that are often difficult or uncomfortable while creating space for reflection and conversation.
My earlier work focused on political and social issues surrounding Roe v. Wade. In my piece Not My Body, I explored women’s rights, bodily autonomy, and the impact that laws can have on an individual's ability to make personal decisions.
My current work focuses on my Hispanic heritage and my relationship with a cultural identity that has become diluted through generations of Americanization. I explore the complexity of reconnecting with traditions while recognizing the ways they have changed, faded, or been lost within my family. This tension between cultural preservation and assimilation has become an important part of my artistic practice.
Works such as American Dream and Coffee address immigration and deportation while examining broader ideas of identity, belonging, culture, and family. These pieces reflect my interest in how political and social issues intersect with individual lives and personal histories.
Ultimately, I want my artwork to communicate without relying on words. I strive to create work that evokes an emotional response, challenges the viewer, and at times creates a sense of discomfort. Rather than providing a specific answer, I want my work to encourage viewers to reflect, question, and engage with the experiences and issues presented before them.
