This piece is a homage to my favorite foods! After a few years of experimenting with cooking, I began to research the foods that gave me increased energy and awareness. I began developing a strong love for my favorite vegetables like yams, kale, broccoli, and garlic. Many of these foods were an active part of my ancestors' diets. Quinoa was a staple of the Incas and Cacao a sacred plant to the Mayans, for example.
This fine art piece was handprinted by Master Printer, Jesus Barraza, at the Taller Tupac Amaru, in Oakland, California.
Esta obra es un homenaje a mis comidas favoritas. Después de varios años experimentando en la cocina, empecé a investigar cuáles comidas eran las que me daban más energía y me hacían sentir más alerta. Empecé a desarrollar un gran amor por mis vegetales favoritos como el ñame, la col, el brócoli, y el ajo. Muchas de estas comidas fueron una parte importante de la dieta de mis ancestros. La quínoa fue un alimento básico de los incas, y el cacao una planta sagrada para los mayas, por ejemplo.
