In case you forgot, we’re different but lowkey the same

In case you forgot, we’re different but lowkey the same

We’re Low-Key the Same explores questions of identity, comparison, and belonging—what it means to be American, Mexican, and myself. The piece reflects on the ways we measure ourselves against others, the systems that shape our experiences, and the shared humanity beneath the labels we carry. This work also marks my exploration into a more expressive painting style, letting go of perfection and embracing vulnerability. As with much of my work, I also consider social media censorship and how artists navigate sharing their ideas. “I thought about how fun it would be if we were able to show or hide the highly censored and feared penis.” The interactive element allows the viewer to decide how the work is displayed.
