Humans as objects.

As an artist I explore the subjects of: sexuality, food, politics, power, and identity. In my most recent body of work, “Dairy Queen”, I examine how we see and experience food and its relationship to the sexuality of the body through a series of oversized sculptures and performance photography. -Arturo Herrera (Artist).
