"I’m really interested in people who are doing things that are a little off, or who are creating new lives for themselves. I’m interested in the role of latinas, not only within our families and communities, but within the broader picture. I’m constantly inspired by people. Whether it’s the woman on the corner selling flowers, or Astrid Hadaad. Lydia Mendoza, people who are just way out there. I look for them and they constantly inspire me to give form to their spirits."
