Description
A large red cross dominates the center of the print. On the upper part of the cross there is a plaque with "SIDA". At its base is a portrait of a bearded man. Behind the cross on the top there is a landscape of Echo Park. "This print is intended to be a tribute to the memory of Carlos Almaraz and to those that have also died from AIDS. The image of the cross coming from the head/photograph of Almaraz is combined/appropriated with few symbols from Carlos own iconography, developed with my own treatment and color perception." J.A.
