Quezada explores their works through the lens of Rasquachismo, a term originating from the Nahuatl word “rascuache,” which means poor or vulgar. In the modern day, Rasquachismo represents the reuse and recontextualization of found objects to be utilized with a new purpose and celebrated in the spirit of survival. This theme of reclamation is especially seen in Quezada’s Remains series, as they portray the cafeteria trays not as the objects themselves but as a metaphor of resistance dedicated to the individuals who use them. As a whole, the trays appear uniform, but it is unquestionable that their solid forms still hold the evidence of their independent creation.
