About OTISWOODS.
Alex Gonzalez, also known as OTISWOODS, was born & raised in the Westlake/MacArthur Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he still resides to this day.
His body of work explores a small window into how he perceives strength, the human will and industry. As a first generation American Latino born from Guatemalan immigrant parents, his experience is not unlike the millions that reside in the United States. OTISWOODS' work aims to bring awareness, recognition and acknowledgement to the immigrant struggle and bring life to the American Dream.
Ultimately, I would like the audience to leave with a degree of empathy towards the immigrant experience. He would like the audience to understand the struggle to BE, that we all continuously share.
