In a new portrait series displayed at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, St. Louis-based painter, illustrator, and photographer Cristina Fletes-Mach explores the complex challenge of responding to the question: “Where are you from?” She shares where themes of migration and identity have been part of her personal experiences, why maps are incorporated into the portraits, and what makes an international airport — inherently an in-between space — a fitting venue to show this series of paintings.
