Artist Statement

As an artist, I aim to trigger a train of thought through my work. Even the mention of "Art" is met with resistance in a struggling latinx household because of a perceived impending lack of monetary assistance. My work will be primarily Non-Fiction political analysis and documentaries. Through my work, I aim to break through that perception and show latinx families and our urban communities that our voices are needed in mainstream media. Our communities have been oppressed and it is time to speak out-- and loudly. I want to break through political party lines and transcend division. With a touch of witty humor, my work aims to show that humanity is like the human body. If the brain decided it was the most important organ and hoarded resources for bodily function, we would be dead soon after. If humans on one landmass hoard resources, the same would be true for earth. I intend to represent the lgbt community as well and break through stereotypes and inspire others to be comfortable with themselves. In high school I pitched our school district's first Gay-Straight Alliance club and gave a speech in front of the entire faculty and was approved, though one board member disapproved. I was president for three years and want to continue to represent the lgbt community in the future and perhaps cause that dissenting board member to regret his vote. In the end I aim to provoke a train of thought that begins to inspire humanity to come together and reshape our current economic and hence political system that stagnates human progression and incentivizes corruption.
