Origin:
Adult female figure with a skull face wearing a white dress. Child wearing white dress with flowers. Textured purple, blue,
magenta and ochre background. "The bride is a statement about my struggle as an artist, who leaves the professional field
of art in order to survive as a single parent. During this time, this woman feels like she is slowly dying because she is
not able to be what she wants to be. This is not against marriage, but a statement that one must be what she really wants
to be before she can be anything else. Women have a harder struggle than men simply because we are women; I hope that for
the women of tomorrow the struggle will be easier to make their lives better." D. Guerrero-Cruz.
