Abstract
An autobiographical essay which analyzes the body of work displayed in the senior thesis show titled Solid Ground by the artist Carolina Tenorio. Carolina describes the many influences and inspirations derived from their upbringing and families immigration from South America to the United States through a queer lens. The artist delves into the processes of making their art and how it has translated into metaphors for immigrant identity in capitalist, American society. How they have embraced the strict gender binary of their fathers role in providing and their mothers role in home making/care taking to construct their own gender expression and fluidity. Carolina discusses how they've digested the role of motherhood assigned to people assigned female at birth and the "bargain" that must be made for marginalized bodies to find autonomy.
