Fordham Human Rights Award (1995) Equal Justice Foundation Grant for Work in Public Interest (1994) Publications: Nueva Luz, volume 12#3 (En Foco: Bronx, NY 2008) "While my world is surrounded by brilliant color, my photography often uses monochromatic tones to blur the lines between past and present. Through photography, I explore my Mexican identity on both sides of the border, playing with the themes of time, memory, and history. I am interested in creating images that reflect a continuum between past and present, between memory and reality. Many of my images capture memories of the Mexico I grew up in as a girl-the raspados de tamarindo (shaved ice with tamarind syrup), the gelatinas sold in the streets, and my grandparents' home, where I spent every Saturday, old and tilted due to frequent earthquakes. Through my photography I also attempt to unravel and unveil my Mexican identity in the U.S., capturing the sense of being in a labyrinth, the multiple identities that come into play, the sense of isolation at times, and other times familia and community." |
