Abstract
As an artist I hold a responsibility to create works of art that are important to
my journey, while keeping it relevant to others. Drawing inspiration from my
Mexican heritage and the impactful stories of loved ones, I expand on current day
issues that affect me and those who I love. I soften my communication by using
familiar and sensitive materials that are inviting to the viewer. Through these, I tell
the story of an inherit search for human rights. With three or more generations of
immigrants before me, I become attentive to the needs of people who face the
same or similar issues in their lives. I understand the process and needs for
regulations and protection barriers, but I find it difficult to understand the ease to
reject a genuine call for help.
