La Resistencia – 2025
Medium: Wood and printed corn husks
Size: 49.5 x 5.5 inches
Monarch butterflies have become a representation of the dignity and resilience of immigrants. Monarchs can fly as far as 3,000 miles during their migration cycle, representing immigrants’ journeys.
The use of corn husks in this sculpture evokes memories of community and family through food. While the lines of monarchs showcase immigrants’ resistance to protect their community.
