About The Artwork
Soy, De Aquí y Allá (SDAYA) is a body of work that introduces her story as a Mexican immigrant by spotlighting stories of other immigrants predominantly those who work in street vending. These ongoing series of portraits focuses on elevating the stories of the subjects by showing them at work and is accompanied with storytelling components, bringing forward personal details about the subjects and the artist herself. The background of the art pieces serves as diary where Hedy engraves, draws, and carves on fresh paint the stories she gathers from interviews and her own personal experiences. Most of the portraits are created in un-stretched canvas to mimic the easy and light transportation street vendors have with their work materials.

Hedy Torres (b. 1988) was born in Colima, Mexico to a family of seven. She is currently residing in Los Angeles CA. She moved to the United States in 2006 and obtained a Green Card and General Education Diploma (GED) in 2009. Torres worked various jobs in order to be able to afford her education, including work as a street vendor and an Uber driver. During her time as a street vendor, Hedy came face-to-face with the harsh reality of this hard and often dangerous occupation. This experience inspired the direction of her artwork to focus on street vendors: the unseen, hardworking and often forgotten people who truly make Los Angeles the multicultural city that we all enjoy. Various personal experiences also prompted the topic of Hedy’s dissertation thesis –spotlighting the stories of undocumented immigrants in the US. Hedy holds a MA with an emphasis on Painting and Drawing from California State University, Northridge.
