I am a Peruvian-American visual artist and third culture kid exploring themes of cultural awareness and societal injustice. Raised in various U.S. cities and influenced by francophone countries as an adult, my otherness has been a source of artistic expression in the face of monoculturalism. My mixed-media practice—rooted in my mixed heritage—reflects an immigrant journey: conforming, resisting, and breaking free to create something new. I embrace my interrogated identities as many parts of a whole, rather than scattered, unsettled pieces.
