Bert is working with the idea of combining 3D models of classical European sculptures with African masks and Latino iconography, of exploring gender identity using an Italian Madonna with a Chak moll head or an African Mask. Rooted in Bert’s own personal immigration story, the primary focus of his work has been to share the experiences of people and families who enter the United States along the United States—Mexico border. His work draws metaphorical relationships between the daily lives of local immigrants and the commodication and objectication of American values. He employs technology to address the ways in which colonization and capitalist systems contribute to cultural displacement and the obfuscation of Indigenous identities, traditions, and religions. By intersecting old and new technology, Bert recognizes that we live in a world where the ancient and the new live in the same time zone, and the perception of reality should have a more holistic approach to avoid false interpretations. This lack of an integrated historical, anthropological, and psychological perspective is at the core of some of the most pressing social issues we face today.
