“Las Flores Moriran”
Oil and Acrylic on Canvas (40”x30”)

Las Flores Moriran explores the tender weight of cultural memory and the quiet struggle to preserve what our elders fought to keep alive. Set against a vibrant backdrop, the piece features offerings of flora and protective hands that honor the traditions, rituals, and stories handed down by those who came before us. It stands as a reflection on transience and devotion, asking what it takes to tend to these living roots before they fade away.
