Artist Statement:
“Mexican Cinema is an effort to direct one’s living moment, to make a spiritual connection with changing surroundings, to narrate the cinematic outcome of one’s potential life.

These images, associated by a common geography, echo an inability to perceive this Mexican space as it is mediated by others. The immigrant narrative invariably heightens one’s sensivity to any fluxuating environment.“
