Inspired by alebrijes, Huichol yarn paintings and rituals, Zapotec weaving, and her own memories, dreams, and family histories, Stephanie Eche uses watercolor, ink, colored pencil, oil, charcoal, wool, and cotton to create works on paper and paintings. These imagined scenes deal with the erasure of her indigenous heritage as a result of colonialism and the assimilation of her Chicana family from Mexico to the Southwestern United States of America.

Stephanie uses line, earth tones, and texture to visualize a compression of time and space featuring characters inspired by her cat, terracotta animal planters, her great-grandparents, and herself. One of her main characters, a mystical cat/human named Lala, helps her access her ancestors and find meaning in the chaos of late-stage capitalism by pulling her through portals. Lala encourages Stephanie to celebrate what she does not know, investigate her mixed-race ancestry, and imagine a future that allows for a plurality of being with infinite possibilities.
