Los Muertos
Throughout the Southwest, Mexico and much of Central America, October 31st is celebrates as "El Dia de Los Meurtos". People make up dioramas, and dolls to represent dead friends and relatives, and display them in their homes. I took images of these dolls and transformed them into entirely different pieces of artwork. In this series, I started with photographs of some statuettes in a souvenir shop and worked them into a very graphic stylized interpretation.
