Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.
One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist.
I like the aesthetics of the Church.
I have always felt that I am the sum total of my parts.
I am an artist first and a photographer second.
As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.
