Note:
Print is a reinterpretation of Frida Kahlo's "The Two Fridas". In this version, the Frida on the left has the face of a calavera
and holds a mask of Frida's face. The Frida on the right holds a calavera mask. They hold hands and are connected by a common
circulatory system. Cherubim on either side of the Fridas hold a banner bearing the words, "Dia De Los Muertos 1981". Atop
columns on either side of the print rest a rat, let, and a bird, right. Through three windows behind the Fridas three different
scenes are visible: the Hollywood sign, City Hall, and Watts Towers.
