My art piece is meant to describe the experience of someone like me, someone who is a second generation latino. Havjng come from immigrant parents, from the moment your born people debate about how authentic your race/ nationality really is. You have one side enforcing harmful racist stereotypes and teaching you to feel bad about yourself, claiming your too “Latino” to be considered an American, and another the other side claiming your not latino enough because you are American. Making it a never ending battle of prejudice, with both sides contradicting each other, leaving you feel lost about which side you truly belong on.
The piece itself was made with a variety of medium, mostly water color, markers, markers and colored pencils.
