Question: How do you see this piece connected to identity?

Andrea Ortega’s piece is deeply connected to identity, especially through the lens of cultural heritage and personal history. As a first-generation Mexican American, she explores how her identity is shaped by the traditions passed down through her family like cooking and how those traditions ground her in who she is. The photos of her grandmother cooking reflect more than just a daily routine; they symbolize connection, love, and resilience. This piece highlights how identity is often built through small, everyday moments that carry deep cultural significance. It shows how we can honor where we come from while navigating a space between cultures.
