I have continuously worked on a series called x J.ESC which evaluates my identity as a queer, brown person from a low socioeconomic community. I started using cardboard in the graduate program I acquired my MFA from. The material was met with a lot of resistance because of its brownness, economic value, and disposability– characteristics similar to my identity. These clothes are a physical manifestation of what has been described as "the gentrification of a brown body" where the resentment and tension between these clashing identities is palpable.
