Enjaulada — meaning caged or confined — speaks to a life held captive. A young girl peers through the bones of a skirt, its frame a fragile cage. Built from collaged and hand-stitched scraps of paper, then photographed and screen printed, the structure evokes the maquiladoras across the border — where childhood is traded for labor, and innocence is stitched into every seam. This skirt is not just a garment, but a burden: a symbol of the work that binds her, the childhood denied, the silence pressed into print.

-In various private collections.
