I AM HERE, AND YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE

RAFAEL FRANCISCO SALAS

My artwork reflects on American tradition and identity. It speaks to an indignant desire for a dream continually just beyond reach. It is a strange, rural poetry of aspiration and poignant reality, a striver’s endeavor of high and low culture, situated between the elevated and the abject.

Country music is the appropriate soundtrack.

Presented in alliance with The Laramie Project.
