Artist Statement

Latin America stretches across countless latitudes, carrying a spectrum of climates and cultures. In AMOR en Latitudes, national flowers from rainforests, mountains, plains, and deserts come together in bloom, united with love to connect the region—and to reflect both my Chilean roots and Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love I now call home.

América Latina se extiende a lo largo de muchas latitudes, con una gran diversidad de climas y culturas. En AMOR en Latitudes, las flores nacionales que florecen en selvas tropicales, montañas, llanuras y desiertos se unen con amor para conectar a la región.
