Reflejos de Cuba
Reflejos de Cuba is a series inspired by Cuban art, culture and history. Each work reflects elements of Cuban life and culture translated through the lens of the diaspora in the United States. The work investigates connection through distance. The theme of home is represented as a place of longing and belonging; of being at one with all of the many identities that one can hold simultaneously. I utilize artmaking as a form of communication and interpersonal connection. These designs connect with spirituality as they reflect on how culture and history define our sense of home. Through pairing imagery from the Caribbean with my own symbols; I investigate what it means to be part of a multicultural diaspora living in the U.S. and how this affects our daily lives.
