Ni de Aquí, Ni de Allá (10” x 12”)
Mixed media on sculpted panel
A richly layered exploration of dual identity, Ni de Aquí, Ni de Allá reflects the tension and fusion between Mexican and American cultures. This piece features a striking juxtaposition of pop culture and religious iconography—Mary Poppins riding a carousel horse on one side, while La Virgen de Guadalupe stands solemnly on the other. Barbed wire, blooming skulls, and embedded sculptural elements add depth, symbolizing both protection and danger, loss and resilience.
Hand-sculpted and textured, this one-of-a-kind artwork embodies the complexities of growing up between two worlds, reclaiming symbols from different cultural narratives, and finding beauty in contradictions.
