Selfies

How do people choose to represent themselves? Are portraits important?
How do you celebrate your Hispanidad (being Latina/o) on a daily basis?

The Selfie portraits may give way to discuss how we construct or deconstruct our identities sense I am asking the portrayed to initially portray themselves to me via a “selfie.” Portraits primary goal is to signal and individual’s presence and by using the history of portrait painting I can introduce viewers to my process.

My process is self indulgent, a necessary act, to remove myself from the world as I become free in my Latina American experience.
