I have always been really interested in exploring identity in my work. I think this stems from my own struggles with identity particularly with my bi-cultural Latinx identity. Growing up I always felt in the in-between. Too Mexican for one side of my family and Too American for the other. What was I? Why did I feel so out of place? This constant friction has haunted me. For my capstone collection I want to explore this tug and pull of cultures and how I fit in. I want to speak to the representation of bi-cultural identities and this feeling of the in-between.
