This painting began as a dedication to Victor Jara's mother, Amanda, who used to sing an old folk song with the same title. As I was folding the last petals of these delicate roses into shape, I received news that his widow, Joan had joined him with the ancestors. Though I'll never be able to relay my gratitude in person, their deaths will forever shape the path we walk as Unidos Art and my life for the better.

Dedicated to every woman whose flowers were uprooted, stolen, or never given.
