In the 1980s and 1990s, she experimented with portraiture and text to give visibility to a range of perspectives from Latinx and LGBTQ communities around Los Angeles. She later began using her naked body as a subject, adopting photography as a medium to empower herself and find her place among diverse interests and intersecting identities. Her images have been increasingly exhibited and praised since a major retrospective in the United States launched in 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication showcases works from different photographic series that made Aguilar one of the most influential artists of her generation.
