My practice is an exploration of self, culture, and the many societal -isms and -tions disguised under normality. Part of that practice engages in autorretratos which behave as masks which are peeled off and cataloged for self reflection through introspection. My máscaras introduce a mesofuturist aesthetic that comments on cultural production and authenticity. Throughout my practice, I use humor and internet memetics to question our roles in society and what is considered standard to life.
My flat work usually begins in the digital realm and crosses into the physical through print, mural, or drawn recreations. On the other hand, my sculptural work is grounded in earthly mediums such as ceramics, which require more labor intensive processes. The visual language of my practice shrouds dark undertones under a veil of bright colors. Through archive and research, I curate, construct, and construe the nostalgia of my lived experience to form a broader imagination of what life could be.
