This performance piece is heavily based on the hispanic influences throughout my upbringing. More so, after making the decision of leaving home to attend art school, I was able to find myself and learn to accept myself within a community of individuals and artists who experienced similar encounters with their own families and cultures. I grew up believing I was never good enough, and the toxic mindset of how women are suppose to act and appear in order to adhere to the societal norms of hispanic households was indeed one of the many struggles growing up and becoming my own person. After moving out, I was able to conclude that although I may not look or act as I should, what benefits me and my career is what should matter the most. So, here I put myself on display, as I say farewell to my past self, and accept the new ways in which I can move forward without feeling the burden or guilt of closing up that chapter of my life, and understanding that this is all part of growing up and healing past wounds.
