My work resurfaces the complex layers of loss, memory, and identity rooted in the instability of home and the elusive comfort of the past. A significant influence on my work is Fotoescultura, a traditional Mexican art form that combines photography and sculpture to memorialize loved ones. In my reinterpretation of Fotoescultura, I explore how we hold onto memory and identity by reimagining the past as something that is not fixed, but as a living, evolving part of our present. In my recent ongoing series, I reinterpret past paintings, reflecting how time shapes my perception of remembrance. The process involves superimposing a past painting with its reference image, transferring it onto canvas using HTV transfer paper, and then painting around it to give a renewed softness and perspective to an experience. I use light-responsive materials such as holographic vinyl and dichroic glass as a tangible embodiment of the passage of time and the evolving way we experience our relationships. The convergence between these dynamic surfaces and traditional art mediums serves as a conduit between the spiritual realm and my physical reality, allowing my memories to transform and reveal subtle truths.
