23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
"Luz en la Oscuridad" (Light in the Darkness)
"Luz en la Oscuridad" (Light in the Darkness) In the traditional Catrina, a figure who honors the cycle of life and death, we find a tribute to my son, Luca, the "light bringer." The sunflowers are his radiant spirit, a force that forever turns toward the sun. This image reflects a mind surrounded by grief's darkness, yet forever illuminated by the brightest light I have ever known.
