Amigos Imaginarios explores the relationship of facial features and the socio-economic disparities in Latin American culture. The public perception of predominantly caucasian features as more commercially viable, a reality which is broadcasted via social media, billboards and television featuring mainly white men and women to a largely non-white population. Tassara subverts this ideology by creating concrete representations inspired by his own more native features and repeating them to create patterns reminiscent of ruins, mutation and mixing. The works were created on-site at Worksound International, in Portland, Oregon (US) during a month-long residency. 

Worksound International was a project of Modou Dieng and Jesse Siegel, with the goal of bringing a more international exchange from outside of the Oregon area to Portland and was partially funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation.
