Foregrounding care and trust in her art practice, Aguilar created collaborative and reciprocal relationships with her sitters. Rejecting traditional family portraiture, the subjects remain intertwined as they hold our gaze. Bodies are close and connected, both clothed and unclothed, revealing their deep connection as a unit.
