“Bendición Nana, Bendición Nano. Dios te Bendiga Nena.”

“Bendición Nana, Bendición Nano. Dios te bendiga Nena.”

Growing up these were the phrases my grandparents taught me to always say when greeting one another in our hellos and goodbyes.
No matter how rough life would get, no matter the troubles they faced they counted their blessings every day. And throughout the years they have taught their children, their grandchildren and their great grandchildren, to count our blessings and to be grateful for the life God has given us. Together they created a beautiful family unit that I am incredibly great full for everyday.

For this Project I asked my family members to send me their favorite images of our family and collaged the images between the two portraits of my grandparents.

I was lucky enough to have this work go up at AM:PM GALLERY’S Latin American Heritage Month showing.
