Ella El Sol by Aaliyah Timmons
Power to me involves a community to see the growth and improvement in their area.
The sun provides the world with energy. The sun grows our food, provides our bodies with energy.
This is a black face because this reflects my community and representation validates the power of my culture.
La Comunidad by Citlali Galves
In my painting, I drew the earth as well as people holding hands. This is to represent our community coming together as on, the ultimate power of everyone coming together. Anything can be accomplished if we work together.
The Bus: By Xochitl Galves Gallegos
The Bus serves as a symbol of power, because changes can be made if we are educated.
The number 2024 serves as a symbol of my goal, that I will soon accomplish in 2024, the year I earn my M.A. in Education
When I think of power I think of my mother. In the summer of 2020 my mother had three back to back surgeries on her stomach. I saw her go from the brink of death to living a full and happy life. She powered her way to live. She is the strongest person I know.
My card shows a crown and is titled Regal.
It represents my gratitude and respect for the powerful women in my family that paved the way for me and my view of them as royalty as well as a reminder that I come from greatness and tremendous fortitude.
The number 11 represents strength and a solid foundation.
Zero to 100 by Cassandra
Community is Center
Raising toward growth from the power of unity and peace.
La Vida by Julliana Alvarado
I titled this “The Life” because I am talking about my life and experiences; and the struggles/challenges/ experiences I have been through. This is a painting of mountains that represent the challenges of ups and downs a person may face. This also represents the homeland of both of my parents and the obstacles facing them coming to America. 95 represents the year I was born, AKA where my journey began!
