The work of art I have chosen for this week’s discussion is Sun Mad by Ester Hernandez.
When reviewing the work of art I start with the actual picture of the women in the bonnet and looking at the symbolism behind her body. The motif that I see running through the picture is that of frustration with the words “mad, unnaturally, insecticides, miticides, herbicides, and fungicides”.
The maid is a skeletal image of what appears to be that of a migrant worker carrying grapes as is often seen in the Modesto and San Joaquin Valley in California. The words that are used as the motif shows the frustration or grievance of dealing with the working environments of the people and those living with the communities. These people are forced to drink contaminated
