Chevita en mi corazón

2018- 2024

In the cemetery in Ocampo, Guanajuato

In a home in Pilsen, Chicago

In her home in Ocampo, Guanajuato

In the backyard of her firstborn, surrounded by his children and grandchildren in a suburb of Chicago

In her home in Ocampo, Guanajuato

In her granddaughter's backyard

With her second born, celebrating Chevitas' birthday in her granddaughter's backyard with her daughters, nieces, and grandchildren

Flowers on the quilt were appliqued in collaboration with many different family members of the Yepez family. The image was taken on the crops. Her smile is subtle, but you can feel her joy. She uses a cane and stands with confidence—Chevita in my heart.
