The piece from this week's presentations that stood out to me was Ester Hernandez's Wanted piece. I found it humorous yet still full of deeper meaning that is relevant to society. The artwork is a wanted sign looking for La Virgen de Guadalupe, which is the hilarious part of this piece, because La Virgen is a divine being loved and revered by many all over the world. The poster reads “Should be considered powerful and dangerous”, which just adds a little more to the humour because how can someone so benevolent be dangerous? When we start to ask these questions is when we realize why exactly she is threatening and to whom she is considered dangerous.

Her occupation on the poster reads “Cult leader, Human trafficking, Terrorist” because she is beloved by millions of people, and because she is a symbol of hope for many people who immigrate into the U.S. So we can see that she threatening a hegemonic society. Everything that are staples of her are listed, the glow around her, her shawl, the angel below her are mentioned in this poster in a satirical way. Hernandez is satirizing the people who do not want immigrants in this country because La Virgen is such an important symbol to Mexicans and many other immigrants from all over the world. I thought this piece was a very powerful political statement about our society.
