Exploring my cultural dissonance and contingencies with my Puerto Rican identity,  I display my experience with Puerto Rican Catholicism and its influences on personal ideas of self, morality, control and perfection.  Inspired by painted religious panels and altars, the life-sized illustrations do no narrate a canonically biblical scene, but rather embody my felt contentions with religion at my most vulnerable state, physically and emotionally.  The five figures are emblematic of my emotions towards religion: Devout, Rage, Desperate, Sympathy, and Curiosity.  Serving as a confessional, I challenge my Americanization and my perceived failure to uphold the right Puerto Rican identity.  I absolve myself from these imposter emotions and establish my own identity, free of expectations.
