Mi Patria Querida

Found frame, vintage lace, family photos printed onto fine white mesh, aluminum wire, and polyfil mixed with yarn scrap for stuffing [108" x 24" x 111"] This was a still taken of my final video art installation with three soft sculptures constructed over the course of the semester: a giant mesh orchid placed behind a plush of la Virgen del Valle, which is framed by a giant rosary. The beads are resewn fragments of screen prints depicting my family.
