作为第一代哥伦比亚和墨西哥裔的美国人，他的作品经常考虑到跨国经历和文化记忆。他在每件作品都引入一种时间感和地点感，要么通过费力的手工过程对发现的照片进行改造，使表面退化；用石墨或墨水慢慢构建建筑表面；或使用特定材料在新环境中定位身份。从他独特的艺术姿态中出现的是介于图像和物体之间的东西一一引导观众放慢他们观看的速度，并对他们实际看到的东西提出质疑。

探索虚构与真实之间的紧张关系，以及可见性和缺席性。这位艺术家的作品将研究与从地理遗址（体现被抹去的历史的物体）中挑选出来的档案材料相结合，以研究历史建筑和地理如何塑造我们的自我意识。他基于图像的媒体和雕塑作品解决了关于身份及其与地理关联的问题，以及这些概念如何暗示关于身体的可见性、缺席和位置的叙述。
