I feel like no matter what there will always be this layer of Blackness that has to be “explained” or is for some reason still up for examination. As if my appearance defines me. My overall theme: through all this oppression, we remain. The resilience that comes before me is what keeps me going. I aspire to feel every emotion through each art piece, and I am joyful to even be able to imagine the future of my art. Coming to the realization that I too am Black history and Mexican history rolled into one, fills me with immense pride.
