Artist Statement:

In this series, my work expresses some of the trauma therefore social issues that we immigrants not just Latinx Latinos deal with in this country. Also, it aims with my approach at creating inclusion for Latinx Latinos by trying to introduce the adjective Noleño Noleña Noleñx to the local lexicon and hopefully turn it into a dictionary entry. Promoting the growth of inclusion and cultural identity and what that may mean for each one of us. Noleño: adj. used to describe a person from New Orleans.
