Immigration

Immigration is central to my work and personal story. I moved to the United States from Mexico when I was ten years old, an experience that deeply shaped the way I see the world. Living between two cultures has influenced my identity, memories, and the stories I choose to tell through art.

In my work, I often use self-portraiture as a way to explore these experiences. By placing my own image within the work, I reflect on the emotional landscape of immigration-the sense of displacement, resilience, adaptation, and the search for belonging.

Through printmaking, I explore what it means to navigate two cultural worlds while holding on to heritage, language, and family history. My work becomes a space to process these experiences and share them with others.

By telling my story, I hope to create space for reflection, empathy, and connection. These works speak not only to my own journey, but to the broader immigrant experience that continues to shape communities across generations.
