To Come Back Is To Stay/Thesis exhibitiontext

There is a trip that starts the moment you cross a border. It is a journey that beholds loss, confusion and a willingness to rediscover where you belong. In To Come Back Is To Stay I use photography, film and new media to focus on the complex duality that forms in the identities of latinx immigrants living in New York City.

Our old spaces,

Our past identities,

Our new life,

Our fresh views.

Is it really a matter of black and white?
Or can we rather find grayscales?

This work is about coming back and staying. This is where we belong.
