The inspiration behind this body of work is my current life situation. I am the father of two kids who live in another state, more than 5 hours away, and not living with them is a daily struggle in my life. Thankfully, with technology, I am able to see and speak with them daily through FaceTime. However, as everyone knows it’s not the same, especially for a father who needs them as much as they need me. In my mind, the clown is supposed to bring joy and happiness to others. But how is one supposed to do that with such a weight on their heart? The story of “El Payaso” is my own, A story of missing my kids and the daily struggle to navigate other family-related circumstances. In a sense, we are all clowns, and everyone wears their version of a mask. And just as I do every morning, they put on a smile and go about their day
