Celebrating the fusion of my two worlds and cultures

My work reflects my experiences as a young child in my native Mexico, encompassing our cultural traditions, my affection for animals, and all aspects linked to my upbringing there. Simultaneously, it embraces my immigrant narrative and my life here in the United States. The creations I produce celebrate the fusion of my two worlds, highlighting the hybridity of cultures.
