I explore the sense of cultural dislocation and dissociation, based on my experience of moving from Mexico to the United States.  Although I was born in Texas, I was brought up in Mexico and did not return to the United States until the age of 17. As such, my work explores the feelings inherent in the experience of feeling like an outsider who constantly needs to explain and justify my cultural identity despite residing in the country of her birth.
My images  are meant to represent identity, confusion and acceptance, which  makes me explore the questions what is required  to be part of a nation and what it means to be an Mexican American. Using the term “Mexican-American” as a constant influence rather than just a migration moment, reflects the significance of the diaspora I live in. This diaspora positions the idea of homeland slowly and painfully in terms of the past .
I constantly use images that certifies my identity and nationality something that proofs my identity where I belong  a representation of my two homelands, but they also show how I constantly cross an emotional border between these two societies. These border crossing creates the feeling of transient experience of a cultural explorations, that helps me accept my dual citizenship, it creates the feeling of belonging within the two cultures.
