La Catrina (the female figure seen here) is a sacred symbol rooted in Mexican culture that symbolizes the way Mexican people see death and the afterlife. La Catrina represents the choice Mexican people make to honor and celebrate the lives of those they've lost. Here we see la Catrina with a dreamlike cat who gazes directly at the viewer, perhaps representing a guardian or guide through the afterlife and reminding us that though death is inevitable, it is through loss that we learn to celebrate life.
