About this artwork
This work is continuation of the work, Eres Mi Flor. It showcases what happens next after the flower that was uncomfortable with its external and internal environment gets nourished. Here water is a healing modality that is exalted - it’s sacredness expressed and highlighted through the sequins. It serves as a magical elixir that is cooling and brings peace and nourishment. All elements that are integral to the flowers development and growth.

My name is Eilen Itzel Mena and I am an Afro-Dominican American artist and writer from the South Bronx currently based in London, UK. In 2017 I was awarded a BA in Fine Art from the USC Roski School of Art and Design. In June 2024 I received my MFA in Painting from the UCL Slade School of Fine Art. I have shown my work internationally and have also received various artist grants and awards for my practice. My visual arts practice is deeply rooted in documenting a femme afro-diasporic intersectional experience. I focus on depicting growth and transformation through an understanding of community, ancestry, purpose and the connection between the child self and the adult self. I am interested in investigating the way that folks in the African Diaspora are in pursuit of joy as well as their personal and communal purpose through using a variety of materials. I use painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance as tools for the pursuit of joy.
