As a native of El Paso, Texas my work reflects on autobiographical narratives and violent events that have taken place along the US-Mexico border. For the past two years my research and artwork have focused on the Femicidios (women murders) in Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua, Mexico). The specific case of Campo Algodón (2001), where eight young women were found in a mass grave in the center of the city, led me to investigate and produce a group of works in reference to loss, justice, memory and erasure. My purpose is to create works that inform the viewer of something that has occurred and continues to happen. My artistic approach involves concept, research and process, which eventually result in installations and sculptural objects. My aim in this thesis is to outline my research methodology and explore the intersections of my work with theoretical discourses in art, human rights, and neoliberalism. With a minimalist aesthetic, my work often masks the labor intensive process involved in research and production. By mining the archives of classified documents used in international human rights courts, I use this material as the base for my work. The nature of this material often dictates its visibility or illegibility as a classified source that cannot be revealed. This body of work requires collaboration across disciplines in which the research and communication with specialists have helped in the formation of each piece. / text

Baigiamojo darbo tikslas yra išnagrinėti buitinių nužudymų kriminalistinės charakteristikos elementus ir nustatyti jos reikšmę nusikaltimų tyrimui. Buitinių nužudymų kriminalistinė charakteristika yra mokslinis teorinis modelis, apimantis tam tikrą informaciją, kurią naudojant galima pasiekti gerų tyrimo rezultatų. Iš tyčinių nužudymų, kaip atskirą nužudymų porūšį galime išskirti buitinius nužudymus, tai labiausiai paplitęs nužudymų porūšis. Buitinių nužudymų kriminalistinės charakteristikos struktūra sudaryta iš elementų, kurie išreikšti požymių visuma, atsispindinčių šio nužudymo porūšio elementuose, kurių pagrindu galima sudaryti atitinkamas prielaidas pasirenkant optimalius kriminalistinius metodus, priemones ir būdus nusikaltimų išaiškinimui, tyrimui. Buitinių nužudymų kriminalistinės charakteristikos sistemą, sudaro šie elementai: asmuo, padaręs buitinį nužudymą; buitinio nužudymo situacija; nukentėjusysis – nusikaltimo pasikėsinimo dalykas; buitinių nužudymų būdai. Praktinė buitinių nužudymų charakteristikos reikšmė yra tai, kad tyrėjas padaryto nužudymo atveju nustatęs net vieną ar keletą nužudymo elementų ir sulyginęs juos su turimomis tipinėmis nusikaltimų charakteristikomis gali sudaryti bendrą vaizdą apie tiriamą nusikaltimą, o tai palengvins jo atskleidimą. / The purpose of my degree work is the analysis of crime detection elements of household murders, as finding-out of his value for investigation of crimes. Crime detection analysis of household murders is scientific theoretical model containing some information, using which it is possible to reach good results in investigation. From deliberate crimes as separate subspecies of murders it is possible to allocate household murders which are the most widespread subspecies. The structure of household murders crime detection characteristics will consist of components, which means and ways for disclosing crimes are set of the attributes reflected in elements of subspecies of this murder on the basis of which it is possible to form corresponding preconditions choosing optimum crime detection methods, their investigation. The system of household murders crime detection characteristics, in my opinion, should consist of the following elements: the person who has made household murder; a situation of household murder; suffering - as object of a crime; ways of fulfillments of household murders. Practical value of the characteristic of household murders will be, that the inspector in case of the committed murder having established one or several elements of murder and having compared them with available typical characteristics of murders, can make the general opinion on the perfect crime, that will facilitate his investigation.
