Ruins is a series of mixed media drawings that describes an ongoing process of reconciliation with tragedy, by recounting individual experience and revising collective memory witihin the legacy and impact of the Salvadoran Civil war.  

In these recent works, historical trauma and catastrophe are mediated by reconfiguring notions of re-growth, renewal and healing through personal myth making.  Working from a variety of  historical, cultural and political references, hybrid imagery is merged by revising Pre-hispanic storytelling, cosmology, Salvadoran popular folkore and iconography sourced from Western art history.
