Te Regalo Mis Flores

Te Regalo Mis Flores transforms the memory of El Salvador’s civil war (1980–1992) into a powerful testament to resilience and hope. From the figure’s open chest, flowers bloom amid bloodstained thorns, while butterflies rise and izotes—El Salvador’s national flower—stand tall, symbolizing renewal. Hidden letters and keepsakes honor voices that continue to live on. Awarded First Prize in the MEMORABLE Illustration and Memory Competition at MARTE, the piece invites reflection on history, loss, and the courage to turn deep scars into life, making remembrance a vibrant, living force.
