The Offering
louisa prada
(Reinterpretation of a ritual scene of the Muisca community)
Under the mist of the marsh, the water holds ancient secrets.
Offerings float silently as the lagoon listens, breathes, and embraces each story delivered to its hands.
Inspired by Muisca legends and ancestral harmonization rituals, this mural is born as a chant to corn, seeds, and the sacred spirit of the moor.
Golden lights float as ancient sentinels as the body melts into the lagoon, reminding us that the territory too dreams and breathes.
Guacheneque is not just a place: it is a heart of water where the echoes of those who understood nature as a living and sacred being still dwell.

"Remnants",
"This is a drawing of one of the most important objects in global capitalism, much like the shipping container, the pallet is essential to our modern reality. The discarded piles of pallets past their prime have a certain beauty to them that I'm drawn to, like old rusted train tracks grown over by weeds and forest, there's a lot of embodied energy in those remnants."
The land remember us,
even when governments pretend not to.

The critical question...Do you want 4 years of the same?
An increase in sales tax to 11.25% is proposed. How would this impact small businesses in Long Beach? Our pocketbooks?
A $61 Million dollar budget deficit in 2027 is coming.
The incumbant mayor is actually responsible for the budget.
Can the preparation for the 2028 Olympics be adequately managed by the incumbant mayor?
The incumbant mayor could not make it to this candidate forum to answer questions.
Be Involved To Shape A New Long Beach.
