"Mirror"


This is the first in my series inspired by the All Souls Procession, in Tucson, Arizona. The All Souls Procession, according to their website, "is an enormous community-created, non-commercial event to creatively honor and celebrate our dead." It is a parade of sorts where people dress up. In particular, many dress in the fashion of Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday that also celebrates the dead that occurs around the same time. This piece shows someone putting on sugar skull makeup for The Procession, while looking in a mirror, hence the name: "Mirror."
