I like to explore the different facets of humans, how they overcome the obstacles and how change is made by the collective, those minds that seek deeply understanding of existence.
As young adolescent, raised in a catholic family & school for girls only; going to church at least 2 times per week to confess about our sins was normal in our school. I remember these particular times feeling guilty with only 15 years old, asking for forgiveness in my prayers… event talking about our menstruation was a taboo in school.
We were obliging to do almost everything we were asked for without our consent, and not dare to question it. Religion has committed so many crimes against human rights. During the Spanish inquisition, their moral ethics, got kill without any mercy, thousands of indigenous people, guilty for having their own culture, own beliefs, different from theirs. Woman before us fought for our opportunity to express ourselves in any way we choose. In western society took very long to come around, tattooed women.
Some argue that this was a reflection of the racist perspective on Native culture and society. An extension of the West’s motivation to separate themselves from the Indigenous people. It’s argued that the idea of woman being tattooed violated Catholic deals of purity of a woman.
As the woman I become right now, closer to what I had dram as young adolescent, I choose to be free of stereotypes, to experience sexuality without any taboo or guilt.
Meeting artist around the globe, brought me lots of relive and happiness. Expressing through art is the most empowering, liberating practice in the lives of people and the greatest tool for change in order to bring humans together, regardless of gender, religion, or any moral stereotypes created by superstition.
