El Día de los Muertos

Or, All Saint's Day in our own familiar culture. Our family, so many, many families, so very much to remember. 

Twenty-twenty. 

I chose to make an ofrenda, or offering table, to remember Dimetrios' passing this year; to remember another--Kwame--now joined in spirit with him, with others of my loved ones who's images I found, others not found--yet in my mind's eye; to remember those the pandemic has taken; those lost to violence, to wars; to blend the culture that was around me in the Southwest into my present setting; to invite them all into this present day to be loved, cherished, celebrated, remembered.
