“Diana Yesenia Alvarado’s clay sculptures present a sense of childhood with an innate twist of Los Angeles. Each of her sculptures contains figures that I saw growing up in a predominantly Latinx neighborhood. The distinct and quintessential symbolism that is depicted through Alvarado’s gestures may visually depict the sounds, smells, people, and colors of her neighborhood in Southern California, but her work touches people outside the confines of her city.”
