From the Ajo Granadas y Tres Flores Exhibition curated by Carmen Lomas Garza. Image is of a two-part assemblage sculpture. The superior part is a wooden cutout in the shape of boxer shorts painted pink with red diagonal stripes. These also bear such facial attributes as a right eye, a mustache, and a mouth. From the mouth protrudes a largely ashen cigar. The mouth corresponds to the fly of the boxer shorts, thus the cigar simulates a penis. The inferior portion of the piece is in the form of a caja. It too is pink with diagonal red stripes. Within the box are two curved arrows that point downward and an abstracted hairbrush (?). A purple hand clutches the lower edge of the box. The left side of the box bears an indeterminate figure.
