9×11inAn homage to the block print, El temporal, by the legendary Puerto Rican graphic artist, Rafael Tufiño—Memento mori revisits the tense relationship between Puerto Ricans and hurricanes. As an equalizer between people (whether rich or poor, past or present), hurricanes have transformed our topography and our culture.
This modern rendition not only alludes to El temporal and other earlier works, it also incorporates elements of modern life in Puerto Rico—cars, traffic posts, condominiums, and high rises.
This tropical force is a constant reminder of our mortality as well as our solidarity and resilience.
