West Side Coffee Shop Waiter (2014)
As a waiter and a lower class Hispanic male living in the projects I have carried a perceived notion from those around me of being uneducated, a thief and financially dependent on others. Being sensitive to the actions that society made towards me caused me to develop insecurities of where I am in society’s social concept. With art I learned to realize my insecurities as an irrational fear.
