    Entrevista a Ketsy Ruiz sobre #boricuadisaspora<\/h5>\n

    \u00bfQu\u00e9 representa la obra #boricuadisaspora?<\/em><\/p>\n

      \nPara mi #boricuadiaspora es un physical representation de mi upbringing en Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico a la misma vez as a preteen. It also represents the false idealism of the U.S and notions of assimilation I was taught at a young age.\n<\/ul>\n

      Vemos que la obra se divide en dos y hay varios pares, uno al lado izquierdo y otro al lado derecho, que parecen representar ciertos aspectos de su vida. \u00bfPudiera describir estos pares? \u00bfCu\u00e1les son y qu\u00e9 representan?<\/em><\/p>\n

        \nCreo que eso es lo que mas resonates con la gente que vean esta obra. The two sides are clearly different, dos diferente sitios, dos diferente culturas, but so easily recognizable. Al lado izquierdo tengo mi vida en Estados Unidos. On the right is the life I had cada verano staying en Puerto Rico. I spent my youth, every year, viajando back and forth between the two. As a teenager era dificil manejando los dos culturas to try and “fit in” dependiendo where I was at.<\/p>\n

        What I really wanted to be visible before anything else were the similarities in the shapes and colors of these experiences. After you notice the symmetry and balance of that (aka my upbringing) then the viewer can pick apart the pieces of the cultures.<\/p>\n

        En los estados tenemos the big colorful fireworks I’d experience at every holiday in every city I’ve ever lived in. En Puerto Rico there are banana trees everywhere I’d look en el campo.<\/p>\n

        In the U.S the Statue of Liberty and the Disneyworld logo are synonymous with the idea of the American Dream and I’ve seen both in person. En Puerto Rico El Morro and the sunsets are synonymous con la idea of La Isla del Encanto and I’ve also visited El Morro and watched a sun set there several times.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
