Story / Additional InfoThis work was created after the artist discovered she had a previously unknown sister. She painted it to honor the sister bond that never happened. The sister is almost hidden in the shadows of the garden. The main figure holds a candle and is taking part in a ceremony perhaps Day of the Dead to honor ancestors in the Hispanic culture. A common trope of the artist's is to include a foreground figure or still life in front of a background, inspired by Pierre Bonnard mainly.
