The work addresses many topical issues of today, such as gender, culture, society, and politics, combined with history and my vision. In particular it addresses the Chicano community and questions of assimilation and displacement, heritage and invisibility, customs and change. However, beneath all these concerns lies an artesian well of humor to help remove self-imposed limitations, to reveal irony, and to enjoy life.” |
