My art aims to empower the viewer with information about current immigration rhetoric, laws and culture that has affected and segregated Mexican immigrant communities. The immigration struggle within the political consciousness has fragmented the voice of the American culture to one of dissent and superiority. The themes that interest me within this strife are tradition, heritage, politics, and immigration. My imagery depicts issues which affect the community through the appropriation of my cultural heritage, mythological narratives, and contemporary immigrant concerns.
