Story / Additional InfoThe sacred heart appears in other works by this artist and relates to her Hispanic heritage on her father”s side. Her experiences with the males on this side of the family was primarily one of observing subjugation toward women. The artist includes an image of Wonder Woman as an antidote to this situation and as a symbol of rising above male domination and feminine empowerment. The flowers bloom upward from the sacred heart in the way that women can blossom when they find the source of their power. The artist was also influenced by Frida Kahlo and her intensely personal works.
