My uncle, chicano painter Carlos Almaraz, died in the 80's too. When my artist auntie Elsa married him, I was fascinated by them both. I didn't understand why no one would talk about his illness back then. Soon he was gone. She dealt with the loss of him & of her own identity, trying to keep his memory alive, while trying to stay true to herself as a painter. She's re-emerged & re-immersed herself into her art. This dance is like a part of their story that can't be put into words. moving...
