PARA MI FAMILIA

When creating my artwork I am heavily influenced by my Latinx culture. Honduras is the country where my parents were born in and where most of my family still remains. Through my art there are images that depict memories and personal dreams. Some depict life events or emotions felt at a certain moment in time. Others represent my loved ones, near and far. This skull pays respect to my family, my Central American roots. For the ones we’ve lost due to the violence on a daily basis in Honduras. This is a reminder of the true celebration of Dia de Los Muertos, to respect, love and remember our lost loved ones. Para mi familia.
