From my personal experience as an undocumented immigrant, I wanted to voice the inner conflicts of coming to terms with connecting with my Mexican heritage while integrating and assuming the identity of the American culture I've been raised in. I've struggled to reconcile what it means to be of one place and live in another that seems to be hostile to what I hope to understand and incorporate into myself. This piece expands on the myth of La Malinche and her story of cultural loss and birth of Mexica blood. Surrounded by raining liquid gold, she finds her face split between three identities preservation, survival, and grief. I felt this painting connected to the experience of undocumented immigrants who similarly have to redefine their culture to integrate successfully into a new world through a system of personal erasure.  Carrying the themes of past historical works that realize la Malinche as a survivor in the face of cultural genocide and the mother of modern Mexican identities. I wanted to share my personal feelings of having so much yearning to connect with a culture that has been erased and a culture that is still alive but built around the wholes left behind from colonization and immigration. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pablo Cruz Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027524522057,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/7659\/2713\/files\/ConquestofTeotiguacansmall.jpg?v=1737956197"},{"product_id":"water-hilo-time-10x10-signed-canvas-art-print","title":"Water, Hilo, Time - 10\"x10\" Signed Canvas Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eArchival high-quality signed art print on canvas.

The choice of whether they can call upon the protection of law enforcement or deal with matters themselves. Whether physical, mental, or dire, it seems it is always a weighted matter of what one can sacrifice, suffer, or bear. When my mother was diagnosed with lymphoma for a second time, many things rushed through my mind. Would we be so lucky that she would not be deported this time around? Would her minimum wage work be understanding of her plight and not fire her again? Would our family have enough wages to heal with her? As awful as it seemed, our last thoughts were on whether she was strong enough to face cancer again. It is the plight of undocumented immigrants to suffer in fear.  Scared of losing their hope in a delusional dream of being accepted into a new world, they've spent more than half their life living. These are the emergencies without language, for it does not need communication. It is a shared innate fear of those either born and loved into sacrificing. I feared losing my mother to government deportation more than losing her to cancer. Often this thought doesn't face such a dire opponent; often it is faced during simple traffic stops, domestic abuse house calls, and any moments where we find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Often it is emergencies that call on the humanity of those around us to aid and serve. To pull to the side and aid one who has just crashed their car, but in the minds of undocumented immigrants, they hope that they continue to be ignored and allowed to live in this country to suffer and love another day. And in the scope of the Mexican identity, there is life in death and death in life. Salvation in crisis, and crisis in salvation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pablo Cruz Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027536351305,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/7659\/2713\/files\/Screenshot2025-01-26230703.jpg?v=1737958060"},{"product_id":"fluorite-specimen-study-9x12-canvas-art-print","title":"Fluorite Specimen Study - 9\"x12\" Canvas Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eArchival high-quality signed art print on canvas.
