Set against the backdrop of teal kitchen tiles, a salvaged tomato bouillon container is utilized as a vase for flowers typical of South Texas. Marengo Sanchez often depicts indigenous flora from the San Antonio region to explore the relationship between the urban landscape and the natural world. By placing these native plants within a common household item, she underscores the vital need for land conservation. This practice reflects the artist's personal commitment to sustainability, as she incorporates eco-friendly habits into her routine by repurposing everyday objects into functional pieces like this makeshift vase.
