STATEMENT
Jacoub Reyes is a printmaker and installation artist living in Miami, Florida. Reyes was born into a divided household to a Cuban/Puerto Rican mother and a Pakistani/ Indian father. Throughout his early development, he carried two sets of foundation pillars: two names, two religions, two separate friends, and families. This started his pursuit of investing in community outreach, decolonizing education, and raising awareness of the inequities found in his community, the Caribbean, and the United States. In Reyes' current focus, he identifies native Caribbean flora and fauna in his area and explores their relation to invasive ones. These anthropomorphic figures often embody a complex, torn history, which becomes ingrained in his large wood carvings. These figures mark a quintessential shift in culture, language, and identity reflected in his practice of finding materials, making tools, and printing without a press. With this, he aims to re-contextualize narratives and traditional colonial imagery.
