I made two new works with this idea in mind, the idea of Fatherland / Motherland.

I think my references to this idea fall in the several categories of War, Crime, and Religion. However in my culture, being Mexican and Mexico, the birth place of my parents this idea falls to a saying: "mi tierra / My Land".

To this day when ever I'm on holidays abroad, someone always refers to my place in a mime performance of a machine gun shooting movement while annunciating "Shee-Ka-go"...

The most recent event falls in the catagory of Religion, this is the fall of a Christian icon The Reverend Jessie Jackson, working under the A-frame of God and morality... And just another man with the same weaknesses as man - WOMAN.
