"This vibrant, four-piece series was funded through the King County COVID-19 Response Fund and two grants from 4Culture, and is meant to tell the story of hope, strength and resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each sculpture is unique and portrays a different message, and all are wearing face coverings to represent our current COVID reality. The pieces were crafted by two Mexican American artists, Angie Hinojos Yusuf and Carlos Jimenez, and are titled Life/La Vida, Care/Cuidate, Wisdom/Sabiduria and Hope/El Futuro.
Meant to create a space for connection and COVID-19 awareness, the pieces reflect the rich heritage, symbolism, tradition, and history of the Mexican culture."
