Hogar, 2018
HOGAR, examines ideas of vulnerability, family and personal relationships, mental illness, issues of immigration, belonging, and drug addiction. Using photography and installation, Ortiz investigates personal relationships in dialog with a larger conversation through contemporary art practices. Due to our current political climate, as a Chicana artist, her work is designed to reach a broader audience, break down communication barriers and build new meanings.
The exhibition is composed of three series of photographs: Ingredients, California State Mental Hospitals, and Hija de tu madre, along with an installation. Concerned with addiction and family relationships, Ortiz moves us through the space and allows us to make deeper connections with our own private lives.
