Artist statement

Mexican women: pillars of our society. They work in the streets every day, sustaining families and economies without expecting the respect or recognition they deserve. This work is my hommage to their strength, resilience, and constant presence that many choose not to see. They are right in front of us, yet we still refuse to look.
