Both of these pieces, past and present, explore my identity as a Canadian with Bolivian heritage. As a half-latinx person who was raised in a multicultural city, connecting to my Spanish side has always been difficult. This work explores what it means to try and understand but in small fragments and always at a distance - it combines familiar sounds from my surroundings and household with thoughts and feelings written in Spanglish."
