Title: Between Borders

The "livre d'artiste", Between Borders, explores the duality and liminality of Mexican-American identity –– the push and pull, the mutual feelings of belonging and rejection that come with two clashing worlds. The book was created using construction paper, bristol paper, and book board. The book also includes screen printed elements.

Title: Guava

Intaglio print. Created through the Intaglio etching process. The Guava is a representation of my childhood growing up in Miami surrounded by Latino cultures, specifically Cuban culture.

Title: Untitled

It’s human nature to look down while walking, which often causes us to miss the beauty of our surroundings. The Chalk Drawings were created to bring color – life – to the ground. Specifically drawn on cracks, the drawings also showcase how even broken, imperfect things remain beautiful. This project not only reminds us of the world’s hidden joys, but also bridges the connection between art and urban development.
