This diptych serves as a homage to my Hispanic heritage, with a specific focus on the profound influence of Our Lady of Guadalupe within the community. I was struck by the depth of devotion present among the Mexican community during the Parade to honor her. The reverence and love displayed for Our Lady was expressed through vibrant colors, spirited dancing, and the graceful movements of the participants. Through this image, I sought to capture and honor the essence of that day, acknowledging the significance of cultural traditions and spiritual connection within the Hispanic community.In addition, the inclusion of a black and white image serves to underscore the enduring essence of the day, highlighting that even in the absence of color, the love and devotion expressed during the parade.
