My artistic practice is one of “self” evaluation through the interrogation of epigenetic inheritance and intersectionality.
Epigenetic Inheritance suggests that it is possible for our ancestor’s trauma
to be passed down to future generations through our genes.
In an effort to reconcile my familial trauma, I create works through this lens.
Works act as therapeutic sessions and explorations into new traumas gained in this current lifetime through my own intersectionality as a person of color, an immigrant, and a woman.
Using acrylic, charcoal and pastel on canvas and black paper backgrounds, I create pensive figures depicting a moment in time.
My hope is deeply personal yet connective. I desire to reconcile not only my own past patterns but the disruptive maternal patterns passed down from matriarchs alive and deceased.
