These photographs are part of a contemporary visual document of the Puerto
Rican experience in the United States. There are 4 million U.S. born
Puerto Ricans, slightly more than the population of the island of Puerto
Rico. This culture and its people have spread far beyond the borders of
the East Coast into every state of the union.
My hope with this work is to show what we call “American Identity” as a much
more elastic and inclusive reality, that our experience as Americans
reaches as far as the island of Puerto Rico and beyond.
