Mi obra artística trata temas de identidad, transformación, y fortalecimiento. La mayoria de los conceptos e imagenes fueron inspirados por las culturas indigenas de Anahuak y los libros antiguos conocidos como "codices," la cultura Mexicana, la historia de la Raza en los Estados Unidos y mis experiencias personales.
