This 18' x 36" oil on canvas depicts a woman at the Nogales deportee center who had on at least four layers of clothing. It is cold in the shelter because there are only three sides enclosed. I got to wondering if maybe she had on even more layers than I could see...and then I thought what a great metaphor the clothing layers are. All of us, every single person on the planet is composed of so many layers...some that we can see and identify, some that we cannot.
