Title

Familia Ruiz Pita Mandala

Description

Circular disc is divided into four quadrants that offer glimpses into the lives of the Ruiz Pita family. Starting at the upper right and going counter-clockwise, we learn 1) that they work in cabbage fields; 2) that they are Mexican; 3) that the immediate family consists of parents Texey and Mariano and children Luis, Mariana, and Pedro; and 4) that this art work gives thanks to God for "one day more." It is among the most explicitly autobiographical of the CAMPS mandalas.
