This image represent a lot, for some people it might mean nothing or they won't understand at the meaning at all but the things is this, for someone who was born in not only one culture but two its says a lot. The image is already powerful enough by just showing a women, but not just a simple women. it seems like a fighter based on the expression of her face and someone who is proud of whatever she is. In her hand she holds a hearth and on each arm a flag. The United States Flag on the right side of her arm while the Mexico flag on the left side of the arm. This says a lot cause she is a women who is proud of being what is consider a Latina and a Chicana. Someone who is not form the american culture but also part of the Mexican culture and she holds those two characteristics that defines her into her hearth and she is proud no matter what.

                Is also powerful in the way of her being a women since just for that she is already facing problems in the society since the women has always been considered weak but she doesn't only face that. She also face the fact that she isn't American, she is also a Mexican which she face racism and injustices. She is not only being judge for being a women but also for her origins and culture. Yet, it seems in the painting that she doesn't care what other says, for her that type of people are just like ants which I love the expression of her face cause for her you are inferior because she is proud of what she is. She is not scared to show it, she is proud and no one will tell her the otherwise. 

           The flags represent the two things that defines her and what she is proud of since she shows it with security. The heart being stab shows that she face struggles either, racism, injustice,  or not equality  ect. The knifes will represent those struggles but the fact that she holds her heart in her hand and lift it up like if she didn't care how many stabs she receives she will hold in her heart and be proud of the things that represents her and that are apart of her no matter what. Which the heart being hold being shows in that position between the two flags represents a strong impact, since she doesn't hide anything and is shown by her clothes style that the culture Chicano embrace and by having a necklace of La Virgen De La Guadlupe.

This is what the painting means for me, such a strong meaning but at the same time inspiration, since she is showing that no matter what people sees on you or what label you categorize, you should never show shame or weakness. You will stand proud just like the women in the painting and be strong and brave. Never change what you hold deeply in your heart and dont let the fact of being a women change that,women are powerful  creatures.Is an inspiration for those people that feel ashamed or decriminalize, and show them that no matter how many time the people, life, society stabs you, always stand strong and proud and don't hide what you are or feel what you are. Embrace it just like the women on the painting which that the reason that I considered this painting so powerful not because the women is the one who is presented but also because the way she express and portrait the feelings while she is just a painting.

There was 6 women who I considered that were presented in the same way like this painting on the park.
