This piece is a self-portrait of my younger self. She is on a voyage of self-discovery with her companion, El Gatito Negro. In researching Retablos in my Mexican culture, I came across an art form that is so whimsical and tragic at the same time. I have been working on my own version of gratitude using this wonderful way of illustrating life events.
