Limited Edition 2 of 6 + 1AP The Labyrinth Series Photography, Archival Ink on Aluminum, Dye Sublimation Process Signed on verso, includes a certificate of authenticity "Explorations of female identity, sexuality, dreams and desires have been returning themes in my artwork since I first started creating. My Labyrinth Series emphasizes a female gaze on Surrealism. Empowering feminist themes are often a point of departure for my multi-sensory series. My work questions the place of humanity in context with contemporary civilization and is often influenced by autobiographical content, my Latinx heritage, and women’s history. I connect with thematic subject matter that engages a narrative of social discourse and art activism. As a multi-disciplinarian artist, I often work across several mediums such as photography, video, sculpture, painting and printmaking to convey a rich and diverse narrative. Through my exhibitions and artwork, I challenge the status quo, as well as tackle stereotypes and double standards. I draw from historical narratives in an effort to create empowering artwork that can have an impact on the viewer, be a catalyst for change or provide insight into history, which may have been overlooked. As an artist, I find it is more effective to communicate my ideas through visual and sensory explorations that can uniquely address the world we live in today."
