La Adelita (corridos)
When I think of the strong and courageous woman Adelita from the Corridos, a striking image comes to mind. It reads in my mind as the following painting.
Is this an image from my past? Is it a reminder of the strength women carried through generations until my mother’s womb as she carried me? Perhaps.
La adelita is a representation of a woman, a genuine, true, feminine, woman. And with the notion of woman comes inseperably a notion of strength and continuation. Back turned to the abyss, I will not drown. I will look forward, smoke my cigarettes, and persevere.
