Capable

Alcira Mendoza

Combining art, science, and community engagement is my goal as an artist.

Everything has slowed down suddenly. I have more time to and for myself. My portrait is part of a series on social inequality, but during this time it's became much more. The cells in the portrait are those of the participants; of my friends, of my family. Creating mine allowed me to reflect on who I am, what I've experienced, and the people I've had the opportunity to meet along the way.
