Welcome to Bell
This was a photographic school project at ArtCenter. At the time I was living next to Bell and I would often take walks around there because I found all of the visual textures interesting. I would bring my camera and shoot anything that caught my interest. As time moved on I learned of the Bell scandal where the public funds were being misappropriated for years. I was motivated to catch the environment and the citizens of Bell during the day-to-day moments. With the images captured postcards and a zine were developed to further inform the viewer about Bell, CA.

Ezfuerzo
This was a book project where I got to explore my content while photographing different environments and I had the opportunity to have conversations and gain many insights. At the time I was attending art school and I was a bit torn with an opportunity that I let go due to focusing on my studies. During the time I had questions about machismo, Latin American experiences, and identity issues within the working professional world. I thought it was important to document the multiple answers from the people I interviewed.
