THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM
THE HENRY ART GALLERY
THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM offers a snapshot of El Sueño's work, as well as an invitation to participate in its vision. At the center of the installation is the company’s logo, an image designed in collaboration with Latina artist Nalisha Rangel that coalesces the tough chola figure with the nurturing Virgin Mary. Paper flowers that were hand-folded and installed by community partners and volunteers surround the image, transforming it into an ofrenda—an altar constructed to honor ancestors and lost loved ones; the mural thus invites reflection on what it means to be the recipient of an “American Dream” that has been generations in the making.
