A large frontal figure built from hundreds of embedded found objects — folk saints, beads, a Guadalupe medallion, toy limbs, glass eyes, rosary chains, crystals, shells, and devotional medals — all radiating from a central painted face set against a dark textured ground. The figure is simultaneously Our Lady, Santa Muerte, a Yoruba orisha, and a Día de Muertos altar. The radiating bead and object field functions as a mandorla — the sacred light field surrounding a holy figure — constructed from junk, treasure, memory, and devotion in equal measure.
