Sophia Meneses San Roman

For me, there is always a fleeting moment of sadness in the midst of excitement. Celebrating who I am and what I have achieved often reminds me of who I’ve been and where I came from. That sense of nostalgia for heritage and culture never really goes away when you have to build a home away from home. This piece represents the ever-present longing for Mexico and my old life, found even while I’m happy.

Hi! My name is Sophia and I’m a junior at UNG, majoring in Graphic Design with an Art History minor. I’m originally from Cancún, Mexico, but I moved to Georgia with my family in 2017.
