I intertwine Pre-Columbian mythologies with contemporary issues that ascribe to abstract qualities of passage and traditions brought over by immigrants. I merge old and new players of Latin America into humorous performances, photographs and videos that blur the boundaries of culture and stereotypes. My performances often include wearing headdresses that mimic and distort pre-Columbian attire. I make fantastical staged portraits of imaginary Mayan deities that indulge in gluttony. Metaphorically I reference Hip-Hop culture, Illegal immigration, Shamanism and Junk food/ Latin Food. The value of history and theory and their relation to contemporary art is central to my process. undefined
