This illustration for International Women’s Day highlights the crisis of the desaparecidas—missing women—in Mexico, emphasizing the profound impact on families and society. By depicting a young boy searching for his mother, the artwork conveys how these disappearances leave lasting emotional scars across generations. Carefully crafted composition, color palette, and symbolism aim to evoke loss and longing while making the message accessible to a broader audience. The project strengthened my ability to communicate a complex social issue through visual storytelling, creating a piece that serves both as a tribute and a call to action.
