art is about many things. things that relate to the world. our world is on fire. literally and metaphorically. our world is hurting. we are hurting. if as an artist you can’t reflect on, engage, or take position on the things happening in the world then, your art is questionable. your being an artist is also questionable.

what causes people not to care for each other?
how can we keep balance in a shifting ground?
how to live a life without oppressing and suffocating the spirit of others?
Topografías del retorno, Somersault group show 2024
strident violin playing in the distance while the rest of us awaited
awaited for the dark awaited for the glimmer awaited for the magic
every night a full moon every full moon i come back to you
but enough with Tatei-kie and with the mountains this country has no mountains
floripondio, ajolote, humo
you are no more, México de mis memorias I make peace with you
