My work is a constant process of trying to define what art means to me an how art affects me. This work is a re-examination of myself and my past, looking at who I used to be and who I am now. Collage is a medium that is a process of trial and error. It is a way to look at past work and think about who that person used to be and who that person could become. I'm looking at 2008 Eric and 2015 Eric and tearing up those past photos and pairing them together with the goal of making an even stronger image. Putting these images together to make a new image is a representation of my past selves coming together to become the present self.

About the Artist
My name is Eric Tenorio, 32 years old and i'm a queer Filipino American. I'm a photographer as well as a digital marketing specialist. I live and work in the Inland Empire. In regards to my work. There are many ways to describe art, many definitions to what art is. To me art is not simply a reproduction of reality, but a creative interpretation of reality that communicates beliefs and emotion, and provokes questions and further discussion. Art makes the viewer confront things they wouldn't normally confront, especially within themselves. I use photography to create my own version of reality.
