Dimensions variable; hand dyed fabric, plaster moldings of face and hand, faux hair, flowers, sweet grass, found materials, 2020.

This work was started at the end of 2019 and during the summer pandemic months of 2020. My work is representative of my spiritual practices and beliefs that have anchored me down during very volatile times I've faced through this pandemic. It is about self reflection, remembering who you are, as well as the strength of those before us that lives through our bodies, minds, and spirits. It is about maintaining a relationship with the ancestor realm and staying rooted on this earth.

I'm a Xicana-Pinay interdisciplinary artist from the Harbor Area of Los Angeles. I transpose memories, stories, dreams, and symbols that represent my hybrid cultural identities and connection to spirituality. My art is a vehicle to heal familial intergenerational trauma, honoring those who came before me, and finding ways to merge past and present narratives.
