La Rendición

9/28/2019

 
This may be my favorite image of border-crossers. I wanted to paint this couple because I think they are utterly captivating. It's not a new image and has been hanging around on my computer for years. I pray they are both doing well. 

Their story, via the photographer:
​Flor Garcia, 19, of Honduras, holding her one-year-old daughter, Flor Fernandez turned themselves over to CBP after crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico near McAllen, Texas, on Thursday, July 3, 2014.

* La Corua was a water serpent that lived in springs of water and protected them. It had a cross on its forehead and cleaned the veins of water with its teeth. According to Sonoran folk beliefs, if one killed the Corua, the spring would dry up.
