Artistic Statement
I create nonfiction media that interrogates the conventions of mainstream American storytelling. I center voices of immigrants and people of color as focal points in complex and layered cultural landscapes. Through the techniques of documentary, photography, and animation, my experiments with disparate styles reflect the schism often felt by those inhabiting multiple contradictory cultural spaces. By accessing the raw complexity of the multicultural experience, my art generates new representations and more authentic portrayals of our communities.
