ISOLATED

The artwork explores national identity. I am from Costa Rica and have family in Cuba and Spain. I used flamenco shawls to show my nationality and cultural background. The flamenco shawl covering the face is significant. In Spain, women wear black veils over their face when going to a Catholic church and cover their hair when dancing flamenco and getting married. The image reflects a lonely  figure in an empty space.
