Coming of age (Transformaciones)
Screenprint
22″ x 30″
2008
This print is a tribute to the 15th anniversary of the Serie Project — a Latino printmaking initiative in Austin, Texas, that hosted over 300 artists-in-residence to create editioned prints. It honors both the triumphs and the ongoing struggles of the Latino community. At the center stands a quinceañera, captured in the moment of her quince años, in front of Austin’s skyline — the birthplace of Serie. She wears the full regalia: dress, shoes, crown — symbols of tradition, transformation, and pride. Etched into the trunk of the tree behind her are words in both English and Spanish, echoing the layered experience of being Latino in America.
