From an ongoing investigation on the politics of representation has emerged a body of work that explores the notion of identity as packaging. Empaquetada is a performance piece that presents large plastic structures containing bodies that are removed from the space they inhabit, while simultaneously disrupting and altering it. Anxiously and aimlessly evoking a sense of wanting to belong while embodying a delicate barrier of separation from the outside world.
