Successful;
Here, I'm grabbing landscapes from the Unites States and painting on top of them images that remind me of Puerto Rico. Placing Puerto Rican identity directly onto other landscapes. In the midst of the many things that define the island, its architecture seems to be something we all hold close to us.
While on the island, I used to walk everywhere, I enjoyed it a lot, and now, being in a place where walking down the neighborhood isn't an occurrence, even seeing a person walking is a rarity, there are no strolls down the neighborhood. All homes look exactly the same. Nothing sets them apart, no colors, no shapes, nothing.
Here, by placing images of the island of the landscape and intervening them with paint and pen, I reflect on things I do miss, further than just the place. More of how adaptability doesn't change wanting to be somewherebut there is a yearning about being somewhere you no longer are. To be close to people, you no longer are close to. Most of all, to be someone you no longer are, whether it's finding or even losing who you were.
