EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait by Ignacio Arcas, we are transported into the vibrant world of Mexican culture and celebration. The print titled "Catrina and the sacred dog" captures a mesmerizing scene that combines elements of Halloween, thriller, and Day of the Dead festivities. A strikingly beautiful woman adorned in intricate face paint resembling a skull stands at the center of attention. Her haunting yet alluring appearance is reminiscent of traditional Catrina figures often seen during Dia de los Muertos. Every stroke on her face tells a story - an ode to those who have passed away but are still celebrated with love and remembrance. Beside her stands a loyal companion - a sacred dog representing loyalty and protection in Mexican folklore. The canine's presence adds an intriguing layer to the composition, as if guarding its human counterpart through both life and death. The artist skillfully captures the essence of fear, spookiness, and mystery within this photograph. Through his lens, he invites us to explore our own perceptions of mortality while embracing cultural traditions that celebrate life even in its darkest moments. This print serves as a powerful reminder that death is not something to be feared but rather acknowledged as an integral part of our existence. It beautifully encapsulates how art can bridge gaps between cultures by showcasing their unique customs and beliefs surrounding mortality.
