For this project, I wanted to illustrate certain aspects of my experience growing up in a multicultural household through my experience of identity, culture, and expectations placed upon me. Both my parents are immigrants to the United States, coming from Mexico and Venezuela respectively. I have dubbed the collection “1 + 1 = 3,” both because I have two siblings (so 2 produces 3), but also because of the lack of understanding that exists between my parents and I from our vastly different upbringings.
