Mariela: Fragments of Her by Jose Vazquez is a vibrant mixed-media work made with sand, wood, and glue, blending bold color with abstracted forms. On a textured wooden surface, fragments of a woman’s body—lips, a foot, a breast—appear alongside playful, intimate details: a nose ring, a high heel, a polished nail. These small gestures, often overlooked, become symbols of identity and presence. Through this colorful, expressive composition, the artist explores the quiet power of everyday choices and the beauty found in the fragments that make us whole.
