About the Artwork

Reflecting on the Mexican tradition of ‘Veladoras’ candles lit in memory of those who are passed or for a prayer. Drawing similarities between this tradition and the sense of loss felt when moving away from a native land. Depicting my great grandmother at her vanity. Figures are painted into the wall with the central figure seemingly unaware, her personal objects on her desk, veladora included.
