Sonoran Spirit

Sonoran Spirit blends symbolism and emotion through the imagery of a bull skull and a woman. The skull, with its sharp contours and weathered texture, speaks to themes of mortality, fertility, and the untamed forces of nature. In contrast, there is an air of quiet strength; her body language is soft yet resilient. This composition depicts the harmony between life and death all while embodying a connection to both the earth and the spirit world.
