This striking work, found inside Libros Café Mezcal in Oaxaca, intertwines identity, ancestry, and resilience. The central figure, a young woman rendered in bold monochrome, emerges from a backdrop of branching veins and trees, suggesting deep roots in land and lineage. A scarlet cardinal perched on her head serves as a symbol of spirit, vitality, and guidance, while the red insert featuring Guadalupe y Angelina creates a layered dialogue between past and present generations. Both haunting and empowering, the piece reflects Oaxaca’s living archive of resistance, remembrance, and the strength of women as guardians of culture and community.
