We don't cry we fight
My art often incorporates a fantasy element as a means of escape, but this time, the events unfolding in America have inevitably influenced my work. The subject is a dark elf, a symbol of chaos, chosen to represent how I believe we must confront current challenges. As a proud Hispanic woman, recent events have deeply affected me. My father's family came from Mexico, working tirelessly in the fields, and like many hard-working Americans, they endured hardship and injustice. This inspired my choice of the macuahuitl, a weapon designed not to kill, but to disable and capture. Her attire is modeled after the Mexican Revolution era, and though the dress is unfinished, it will feature calaveras and vines. The blood-red sky symbolizes the pain we are experiencing, inspired by an image of the rising sun sent by a family member.
