During my last semester of University, I was part of a team that made a historical trace of the Rio Grande, showcasing the meander and how over time it changed dramatically. This land arts project was an investigation of the ephemeral nature, and shifting historical policies of the borderland, showcasing the way that politics alter the way we perceive land management and what it means to share a river with a neighboring country.

It's a strange thing to grow up on the border.
There are so many unique aspects of the space between two countries. As a kid I always had a hard time fitting in, feeling like I didn't belong to either side, it's hard to find an identity when being raised in a culture of assimilation. It wasn't until more recent years that I realized how being immersed in two cultures provides a unique perspective on the importance of harboring an international community. I've seen firsthand the impact that an exchange of ideas can have on art, fashion, politics, culture, and design.
