“The archive was an opaque hope, yet it kept slipping away as though it didn’t want to be found, plundered, excavated. It became outright seductive in its evasiveness, and it kept making clear that it didn’t want our masturbatory desire for it” (22).
“Tinc vuit anys. Ho explicaré tot a la meva manera perquè la mama i el papa m’han dit que ho expliqui a la meva manera. […] M’he estirat amb la meva nina i l’home que no és tan jove m’ha demanat que em tregui les calcetes. Jo me les he tret.”

skin scarred from falling logs.
I love fire and the pictures of fire.
But I love dead fire best:
rolling in cinders until I’m glittery with flakes of ash

The work of mestiza consciousness is to break down the subject-object duality that keeps her a prisoner and to show in the flesh and through the images in her work how duality is transcended.
