Each Perspectives

• Artist Statement

  My artwork tells the tale of my experience growing up, showing the negativity's of how I should portray my parents but in reality how I see them. It also shows how I've come to peace with the fact that all these tragedies that played a role into my trauma are not at fault, it was the system of generational poverty, that begin when my ancestors were force to migrate to America.

• Creative Statement

  It impacts my life because growing up I didn't have parents who checked in with me on a emotional level. Being able to emotionally and verbally express how I feel helped keep me sane. It also influenced me to make a change in my community through poetry and verbal expressions to one another.
