“VEINS”

I drew inspiration from my
great grandfather who sings the song “Albur de Amor” by Antonio Aguilar. My
personal history has the blood of both white and Mexican people in my veins,
giving me confusion as to which groups I belong. I was never fully immersed in
Mexican culture, nor do I speak Spanish. I reflect on the feelings of isolation
because I do not truly identify as one side or the other. I continue to cherish
what I have of Mexican culture through cooking and the nostalgia of listening
to my grandfather’s singing. I recorded video in both Boulder and Parker
Colorado for this project.
