What's In a Face?
Behind faces are hidden stories, unknown to the viewer unless more information is given. These four individuals are people that I have met throughout my life and who have helped me understand the experience of living as a Latin-American immigrant in the United States. I have learned about their struggles, gotten to know them through their passions and interests, and have celebrated with them in seeing them succeeding in achieving their goals. They are all unique in their own right, but helped shape the beautiful journey that is my own life story. I was influenced by Andy Warhol’s use of vibrant colors and Shepherd Fairey’s signature portrait style to create this piece.
