Original Artwork. This work features an acrylic transfer onto two sheets of corrugated steel, depicting a balloon vendor at the Huey Atlixcayotl festival in Atlixco, Puebla. The vibrant scene, with its array of colorful balloons, is reminiscent of my childhood in Mexico, evoking memories of everyday sights that have become deeply ingrained in my sense of home. These seemingly mundane moments take on new significance in the context of migration. The colorful display of balloons, despite evolving designs influenced by American pop culture, has been (and remains) a staple of public spaces in Mexico since my parents were kids, symbolizing a continuity of cultural memory amidst change. This piece explores the tension between nostalgia and identity, highlighting how ordinary sights—like balloon vendors—become cherished memories that shape our understanding of home and belonging, sights that endure even as they evolve under the influence of globalization and cultural shifts.
Where it's been: Xpace Cultural Centre, Abbozzo Gallery
