Canicas

Linocut on Thai Kozo Paper

Description:
Canicas is part of a series inspired by interviews with individuals who lived and grew up in migrant farmworker camps during the mid-1900s. This print captures a tender moment of childhood—two boys crouched in concentration, lost in a simple game of marbles. Amid the hardships of camp life, play offered a rare space of freedom and joy, a reminder of the resilience and imagination that endure even in the most challenging environments.

Hand-carved and printed on Thai Kozo paper, Canicas embodies both strength and delicacy. The intricate textures and expressive gestures invite viewers into a quiet narrative of connection and survival, where innocence coexists with labor and community spirit.

For collectors drawn to work rich in cultural history and storytelling, Canicas offers a moving glimpse into the everyday lives of migrant families—a testament to memory, endurance, and the universal language of play.
