"La Lucha" 2026
30 x 40 in
Acrylic on Canvas
The first piece in a new series exploring the resilience, identity, strength, and spirit of Mexican and Mexican-American women.
Inspired by the saying: "They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."
The ribbons in her braid, the hoop earrings, the desert, the fields, the workers, and the colors of our flag all speak to culture, labor, sacrifice, and pride. The pink building in the background references the old Justice Court building in Tucson - a symbol of the Mexican-American women who continue carrying our voices forward, fighting for visibility, representation, and community across generations.
The piece also honors the history of the United Farm Workers movement and Dolores Huerta, who coined the phrase "Sí se puede" - words that became a symbol of perseverance, dignity, and collective strength for generations.
"Sí se puede" was never just a phrase. It was survival, resistance, and hope passed from generation to generation.
