Yesterday I felt so agitated about the uncertainties of life but I knew I had to do a drawing nonetheless. I decided to draw the divine mother in honor of Mother's Day, and turned to a photo of la Virgen de la Soledad from Oaxaca. I was frustrated with the way it looked after scanning so I decided to take a photo. I liked the juxtaposition of the mundane clipboard and masking tape with a holy image, and the shadow of the vine at the bottom.
Then what caught my eye was the crack in the sidewalk. It brought to mind the question I asked when I started the project of drawing 100 heads. Can watering the seeds of what you love crack the concrete? It felt like a good sign on a day of agitation with all the unknowns.
