This art project was made during The Front Arte & Cultura New Native Narratives Apprenticeship Program.

In this series of works, I explore the importance of remembering as a tool for healing and acceptance. Drawing from nostalgic early interactions, moments, and places from my childhood, I retell my story by creating new narratives that acknowledge life’s hardships, mental struggles, and my transborder identity. Highlighting the importance of unity and family bonds.

Furthermore, I examine the concept of imperfection through the use of found, biodegradable, discarded materials. These surfaces, which eventually disappear over time, mirror the fleeting nature of memory. The Imperfect materials retain traces of their past purpose, allowing them to convey their original essence. The ghostly images placed upon these surfaces reflect the complexity and ephemeral quality of memory.
