Lopez looks at both the public and private realms of one’s life when describing identity-- national, ethnic, racial, historical, personal and imaginative forces. In this work, snapshot photography is used to capture the figurative impulse represented at public events like Latino Day Celebrations and Puerto Rican Day Parades. These photographs are then cut and reassembled to interact with light, color and shape.
