Note:
Four females in a light and dark blue vintage car (Model T). Background gradation magenta/purple. Border of dark blue.
The lower part has several gold circular images of the Aztec moon godess. "The theme is our interconnectedness with each
other and the universe. The car represents movement in space, and time is represented by the images of the women. "La virgen
de Guadalupe" (the driver) the Mexican-Indian grandmother, the modern Chicana mother and child. The Aztec moon goddess-Coyolxauqui
signifies our link with the past. The print is part of my ongoing tribute to la Mujer Chicana..." E. Hernandez.
