Environmental

 

Winter 2001/Spring 2002

 

  Early after my arrival to the United States, I decided to make a documentary of  my surroundings and my position therein.  More than that, I wanted to explore this new context through my own voice.  I have been strongly influenced by the overlapping of my history, present cultural environment, and social context.  I took this idea quite literally into the camera, making use of the multiple exposure function. Through this technique I was able to capture simple pieces of the world, composed and re-composed into a window between my mind and the city.

NOTE: This was my very first art project.  Overall it's kinda weak, but there are certain elements that I continue to enjoy and that define my aesthetic sense.

Self Portraits Without a Mirror

 

Winter 2001/Summer 2002

 

Moving to a different country required a lot of self-searching and led me to understand who I was. These are some drawings that I rescued from a diary I was keeping at the time.  This project consisted of around 12 acrylic paintings on canvas.
