Abstract: Each line I carefully carve into wood or linoleum is another immigrant’s story I can share. I found my passion in printmaking. My artwork focuses on identity, cultural pride, and immigration. Coming from a long line of immigrants, this is a very personal and vulnerable topic. My work exposes the harsh reality of racism and the immigrant experience. Through my art, I advocate pride, solidarity, and perseverance. I also highlight the challenges our communities face. A strong notion in my work is compassion and humanity. I work with mostly relief, intaglio, and screen print. My mission is to be a voice for those who are silenced and unveil injustice.
