Artist Statement
Statement by Ana Hernandez, on her artistic response to Kristina Lopez’s experience:
In many practices, it is believed that there are inherently therapeutic properties derived from the stages of breakdown to breakthrough. These periods, both internal and external and ranging from large to small components, are at their best transformative processes resulting in a release of emotional and physical confinement.
The feat of releasing pain, relieving trauma, and progressively healing in spite of ongoing institutional racism, systemic discrimination, and structural stigma is an impressive display of dignity and defiance. Furthermore, to reach a higher level of consciousness where one is capable of the advocacy of awareness and forgiveness, is perhaps the ultimate form of sight and vision.
