In my photography I use my documentary practice to record complex metaphorical conversations of cultural history between the landscapes and it’s people. As a first generation Mexican-American artist, my expression is deeply connected to the current political climate. I use photography to document landscapes that hold a collective significance of Mexican culture in an idealistic American lifestyle. In my work there are elements of documentation and performative marks to establish my presence in these landscapes. Through the lens of the rich Texas landscapes and its historical context in relation to the land of Mexico, my photography emerges from a place of resistance and care, advocating for my culture through the beauty found in its imagery.
