From Victor Pacheco's Artist's Statement:

I was born in Fajardo, Puerto Rico in 1975. I have been living in Hartford CT since the age of eleven. My work is greatly influenced and inspired by identity and community issues. Identity is such a complex liquid concept. I choose to express it through a variation of mediums. My work makes a connection with the viewer about their identity, culture and the past.

At the exhibit, these stoneware busts were accompanied by audio recordings of interviews between each model and the artist.		Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez is featured in a series of fabric panels honoring community leaders.


The artist chose to glaze or paint each bust with the color that "best fits the person's energy at the time of the sitting."
