Buscando Agua Despues de Maria. Title Translation: “Fetching Water After Maria [Hurricane]”

ARTIST: LUCY GIBOYEAUX ©all rights reserved This first piece I use mixed media, including fabric hardner, paper, aluminum foil, and egg carton to unify them and depict a view of thousands of Puerto Ricans, including my family, after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in September 2017 left them to often seek dangerous sources of water.
