She creates portraits that represent a journey in her continuous search to make connections with the people around her and in the place she lives. Exploring her identity produces a visceral exchange of personal and political identity while cultivating an awareness of “otherness.” During her residency she has worked diligently on a new series entitled “Reclaiming the Latina tag” appropriating selfies, from the Tumblr blog with above name, and repainting them the size of a cell phone.
