Statement

My work uses nightmare satire to expose unchecked American power, distorting familiar symbols into grotesque visions of greed and structural horror. I fracture cultural identity by juxtaposing violence and humor, against the backdrop of modern America, especially the southern border. Repurposing inherited colonial imagery, cartoons, and comics, I challenge Anglo-Saxon dominance. This is also personal: a meditation on mortality and erasure, caught between my border upbringing and New York City.
Art is a testimony, not escape, a resilient witness and response to political violence that refuses to look away.
