This painting was done in response to a photograph in the New York Times by Wesley Bocxe. Whereas Maria Pia Lara speaks of story narratives as a means of demanding recognition for those voices that have been suppressed, painting also demands recognition. In this version of my painting the brilliant reds and pinks, especially as I overlaid Wesley Bocxe's photograph, were a conscious demand for the recognition of los desparecidos. The remainder of the story can be found at Los Desparecidos de Guatemala.
