Tierra y Corazon

My mother was born and raised in Mexico up till high school years. I've heard little about her childhood. I've only had the opportunity to see Mexico once for a day or two through Ensenada, trying to imagine what it would be like.
From the little that I have seen and the imagination for what other locations would be like, I have this impression of Mexico:
Brilliant colors- stark and contrasting. Flashy and bold. Strong. Beautiful, but also gentle at times. I imagine a dance of colors, whirling around like the colorful butterflies that migrate across the land.
However, there is still ambiguity in my imagination for what it would be like, and for what I can know about it. Therefore I made this piece, depicting the brilliant butterfly, but also hazy background to show my ambiguity for what it really is and what it can be.
The butterfly is made out of different feathers and parts of birds. This was a way to show that predator and prey, friend and foe, can live in this centralized location of dynamic beauty.
