A series of series; an exploration of myself and various spaces around me [VISIBLE&INVISIBLE].
STUTTERING
A series of self-reflective face/body manipulations.
This series is born out of my struggle to find my most authentic self after growing up in a mixed culture household - my father being from Xilitla, Mexico, and my mother from North Carolina. My parents raised me specifically to be American, NOT Mexican - partially due to my parent's ideology and partly so I could fit in easily to American culture and life. As I grow older, I feel more and more detached from half of my heritage. I yearn to learn and reconnect with a part of me and my identity that I may never have again.
Trying to reconcile who I am and who I want to be.
Found during excursion: a mountain dew bottle, a few condoms, many needles, and a stuffed animal.
[NULL]
A series of bodily explorations in architectures that are deemed off-limits.
This series was born from me questioning the role of architecture - in the creation of spaces that are inherently exclusionary and how that perpetuates rampant waste and various inequalities between different social and financial classes. Thus, I look to reclaim these spaces (even if just for a moment) for a primal and exquisite experience of these architectures and systems.
Fetishized production.
Sacrifice yourself for the GDP.
Kill the old and sick.
All praise the mighty dollar.
All praise the machine.
All praise the glorious market.
Sacrifice yourself.
JUST A TASTE
FUCK THAT
