This series is an ongoing dialogical relationship between my family and myself. By de-constructing and projecting the depths of perception that take part in our collective memory, I navigate the trials of trauma, recovery, and acceptance. This is a beginning, a new way of seeing.


The dialogues reflect a process, a re-appropriation and a nurturing of my own memories. A growth that propels me to re-evaluate our past, my essence, a living force, our struggle, and one that threatens to overwhelm me. 

Let me tell you a little bit about us. Let me show you our story, our cry for love, our plea for acceptance.
