Need Help?
In March 2020, the world has changed in the blink of an eye. Yet for me, before the Pandemic, the world has changed dramatically when I immigrated to the United States from Mexico in 2012. I had to learn a new language, adjust to a new culture, start a new creative career, and most importantly, I started my own family in New Hampshire. Like many other families, aside from vacations, we haven’t spent much time together prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. The Quarantine imposed in March 2020 forced us to find patience, care, and joy in everyday activities, every day, the whole day, for many days. My skills as a mother, partner, and daughter were all called to test while I found a different and fulfilling bond with my family that was stronger and more creative than ever before. During the pandemic I was also confronted with the past I left behind in my birth country. The cold, passive-aggressive, and the almost non-existing relationship between my parents, has slipped into my own family experience and artistic practice. My work is a visual translation of these experiences.
