Emi’s work blends in elements of realism and iconography to create an interactive narrative. This artistic narrative is influenced by the duality of her American and Mexican culture. Themes of identity, memory, and language are often seen throughout her work. Emi creates art with the intention to capture a disruption of emotion, a snapshot of moments that tell a portion of a story.
