There I was, in the studio of our great spiritual ancestor, who spent her life depicting her image in an effort to better portray her reality.  Did she look in this mirror too?
Standing in Frida’s painting room and looking at the place where she used to sit down to work.  Seeing myself in her mirror.  Seeing myself looking back at myself, it’s confirmed that I AM not her. I’m only ME.

About:

Maya Escobar is a performance artist, Internet curator, and editor. She uses the web as a platform for engaging in critical community dialogues that concern processes by which identities are socially and culturally constructed. She performs multiple identities, sampling widely from online representations of existing cultural discourses. Her identifications as a Latina-Jewish artist, dyslexic blogger, fitness enthusiast, activist and educator are indexed by the blogs she keeps, the visual and textual links she posts, the books, articles, and blog posts she cites, the public comments she leaves, and the groups she joins.

Escobar received her MFA from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Washington University in St. Louis, and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited work in Spain, Guatemala, United States, Germany, Venezuela, and Chile.
