I recently connected with my cousin, Noemi Nunez, who shared Dominican phrases that inspired my series, Anda La Porra. This sketch is an idea for text art on shirts. The text explores phrases commonly used in Dominican Republic. These words reconnect me with my culture, while allowing me to ask questions about confusing themes and patterns in our culture. These words connect the individual to a unique culture. The words also provide a response to unfamiliar happenings.
