Esperanza Maternal” (Maternal Hope) is inspired by the hope so much of us mothers feel for our children. The hope that they will be safe, healthy, happy, feel loved, be fullfilled- the list goes on. I grew up crossing the border between Tijuana, MX and San Diego, CA and it is common to see mothers carrying their young ones on their backs in carriers called "rebozos" while asking for help in the street. The spectrum of hope we experience as mothers is wide and varied. This piece is an homage to those mothers in places in the world and in their lives where their hope is unfathomable to many.
