Statement

​

My work draws from personal experience to reflect on broader social and political themes. I am drawn to myth and its role in constructing meaning, exploring the intersections of personal and collective memory, reality and artifice, and nonlinear time.

To visualize the layers of historicity we carry with us, I work with scanning, rephotography, collage, video, and writing. Mirroring my lived experience as a queer Mexican immigrant and the child of an immigrant –continuously formed, deconstructed, and continually reassembled–. I embrace fragmentation and transformation, welcoming ambiguity, opacity and multiplicity. 

In my practice, transformation is both a subject and a method –enacted through process, material, and form. I seek to inhabit change and amalgamation, to visualize becoming as a political and aesthetic strategy.
