Iron Will, limited edition silkscreen print features beautiful color layering, as well as hand-sewn vinyl and loose hanging threads, which are signature motifs in Cabrera’s sculptural work. Iron Will represents the spiritual uplifting flight of cultures, communities, and individuals, and it reflects Cabrera’s interest in exploring the U.S-Mexico border relationship with regard to labor, culture, and violence. Cabrera uses the culturally iconic imagery of La Virgen de Guadalupe and showers the print with a bed of roses representing the story of Juan Diego. Imposing with white vinyl the shape of an iron, the work celebrates the iron will of working Communities.
