"Homesick" is a sequel piece to my zine "Where Are You Really From" (2025).
This piece is letterpress printed with rubber-based ink. The cover features a linocut carved house image- my childhood home in South Minneapolis. I chose to use the structure of a Turkish map fold because it looks like a little house! It’s humble and unassuming on the outside, then expands into a much larger piece.
During the height of Metro Surge in Minneapolis this January, an ICE agent harassed me and told me to "go home." As a transnational adoptee standing in a government occupation where people who look like me are being detained, deported, or killed, this was a loaded request.
As the U.S. Government continues to target my identities and rights, I am taking more proactive steps to have a safe path to move to Colombia if needed. While my U.S. passport is up to date, my Colombian passport is expired, and I do not have a Colombian ID (cédula); I cannot return to Colombia without these items. Navigating an international bureaucratic system has been discouraging and infuriating, as I did not ask or consent to be brought to the U.S. in the first place.
I was adopted from Colombia as a baby; while I don't have concrete memories of Colombia, my body remembers. I am homesick for a place where I have spent very little time, and “I can't go home.”
