Nude of a woman characterized as a Mexican catrina with a decorated skull and candle in her hands. It is an allusion to the pre-Hispanic tradition, in which the memory and the presence of the family dead are celebrated with an offering, in this case, the candle. The skull is in front of the woman, because it represents the destiny of all, death; However, the woman's gaze is not focused on the skull, but on the candle, because the candle is the light, the faith and the hope in the afterlife.
