I live outside the bounds of monogamy and binarism. Living in an adopted country as an Immigrant Latinx Mother, it is difficult to see myself reflected in mainstream representations of my identity. Art allows me to see, feel, and communicate the influence that the absence or presence of certain images influences our world views and behaviors.
Through collecting, pulling apart and layering appropriated images from multiple sources, I attempt to make sense of the over-production and consumption of images in contemporary society as we become increasingly desensitized by them.
