“Hermanita” depicts the side-profile of an Indigenous woman, who is emblematic of the struggle of both women’s rights and cultural rights. This edition was hand printed on Japanese Kozo paper.

The image of Hermanita was recreated as a 5 story tall mosaic unveiled in 2021. A year’s worth of work came to fruition it was completed as the largest mosaic that is part of the ongoing Watsonville Brillante project, installed at the Civic Plaza Parking Garage.
