Maria Cristina Jadick is compelled to build bridges that connect people, and affirms that her art’s main purpose is to evoke compassion while creating a space for dialogue. Throughout a decades long art career, her research based, conceptual art has addressed contemporary issues by integrating combinations of photography, video/audio, found-objects, foodstuffs, painting, printmaking, performance and installation as she presents an authentic rather than a traditional, beauty aesthetic.

With "Into Resilience," Jadick proffers expressive works that explore moments from the post Hurricane Harvey flooding event that devastated Houston neighborhoods and the Gulf Coast area in September of 2017.
