Artist Statement As the three of us hop off a train unsure of this unfamiliar place, but overtaken by the rush of adrenaline. Miave set the timer and the race began, we broke for the doors to see what different adventures were in store. Only 30 minutes remaining before are layover ends, with swift moving feet we toke to the alleyways. Three teenage girls barreling through the city of Amsterdam stopping for seconds for a picture or two, our inner tourists was revealing; but nothing not even judgement could get in our way. There was limited time before a plan arrived that would call our names. We made a stop at this pastry shop, refueled took a picture and were off to the next stop.

Artist Statement Every day it's something new, another rumor giving their hateful definition of who and what she is. Not giving these built up lies attention for the illusion of strength, desperately she tries to show her truth. She masks her face with makeup, wears put together outfits, but it only makes things worse. So she changes, unmasks her face, wears sweatpants and sneakers trying to draw less attention to herself, still it doesn't help. Until she gains strength from realization, that people can't see her truth because their judgement is blinded with a shadow of their insecurities.
