The portraits commemorate both departed family members and loved ones who remain\, capturing their distinct identities and illustrating how they are intrinsically linked to the spirit of Maíz. Each piece features a grid in the background symbolizing societal constraints\, while the subjects depicted represent the act of transcending these limitations to realize their fullest potential. Watercolor and graphite were chosen as primary media to highlight the nuanced beauty and complexity achieved through transparent layering\, contributing depth and vitality to each portrait within the collection.  Edgar “8ahau” Fernandez was born in Los Angeles\, California and moved to Phoenix\, Arizona in the year 2000 where he embraced his identity and found his passion for painting in the Sonoran Desert. Fernandez recently completed his BFA in painting at ASU and is a full-time artist. Since 2013\, he has accomplished public recognition in Arizona through solo exhibitions\, group shows\, awards\, and mural projects. His work inspires creativity\, cultural identity\, and resilience within his audience.
