DEEPLY ROOTED IN MEXICAN CULTURE, CALLAVERAS DE AZUCAR (SUGAR SKULLS) ARE ONE OF THE MOST VISUALLY DAZZLING REPRESENTATIONS OF THE FAMOUS DIA DE LOS MUERTOS. THIS HOLIDAY, ALSO KNOW AS DAY OF THE DEAD, CELEBRATES THOSE WE’VE LOST AND REMEMBERS THE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS THAT WERE SHARED.
THIS IS EXACTLY MY AIM WITH SGRPOP, TO CELEBRATE AND REMEMBER THE CHARACTERS, STORIES, AND PLACES WE REMEMBER SO FONDLY FROM OUR PAST. I WANT TO EVOKE A NOSTALGIA THAT WE CAN ALL SHARE IN A UNIFYING SPIRIT. I GENUINELY HOPE THIS SERIES CAN BRING SOME SMILES, AND SOME MEMORIES OF FORGOTTEN TIMES BACK INTO YOUR LIFE. ENJOY.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I CAN YOU TELL ALL ABOUT MY PASSIONS AND INTERESTS BUT IT WOULD BE A HOLLOW REPRESENTATION OF ME. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU IT IS THAT I STRUGGLE IMMENSELY WITH MAJOR DEPRESSION SYNDROME AS WELL AS HIGH ANXIETY. I SHARE THIS ONLY BECAUSE WITH THE INCREASE IN MENTAL ILLNESSES AS OF LATE, I WANT TO LEND MY SUPPORT AND CARE TO WHOEVER OUT THERE NEEDS IT. IF YOU’RE SUFFERING AND ALONE, SHOOT ME AN EMAIL AND LET’S TALK.
