​"hoy hay mas muertos que vivos" [there are more dead than alive] forms part of ART-IN-SPACE, a new initiative for Terrain Exhibitions and CNL Projects.  
Often used by my mother to block the sun, newspapers on windows have functioned as barriers from the hazardous nature of the outside world.  As I take shelter at home, I place newspaper letter cutouts on windows to form a dialogue rather than to shut out outwardly.  In the phrase "hoy hay mas muertos que vivos" [there are more dead than alive], I dialogue with my Mexican American border community to shed light on the experience of living with a daily death count.
"ART-IN-SPACE invites artists to exhibit an original work of art to be displayed outside their home or from a window visible for the public.  This collective action provides artists and community members in Chicagoland and beyond with a sense of hope and connectivity."  See more...

I place my work in conversation with space
often disappearing, in harmony and being an “I” that does not exist.
