Description
My thesis body of work offers a bridge into the physical, emotional, and spiritual
scarring caused by global intolerance towards the LGBTQIA+ community and
oppression embedded by patriarchal power. This body of work is a collection of
resurfaced history and experiences transformed physically by intentionally subverting
hyper-masculine materials into knots. My objective is to deconstruct individual knotted
cords that make up the fabric of my identity and reconstruct them into an installation.
Renascence offers a visceral experience for the audience that aesthetically explores the
body’s transformation as it heals. This thesis asserts a place within a reflective, fluid,
transitional identity expressing the intersection of the temporality and body that I occupy
as a Queer, Latinx artist of color. Working across media, Renascence incorporates
performance, photography, paper, paint, projection, mirrors and built environments.
