    This sculpture combines text and a live, prickly cactus to create a culturally expressive and dynamic work. The pot the cactus is planted in was made from Mexican clay. With 'Please Do Not Touch', Diaz makes a point that is applicable both metaphorically and literally.

    "Do Not Touch also makes a reference to artworks in a museum, because of their signs that say please do not touch. In this case, it’s obvious and silly, and meant to be that way."
    -Alejandro Diaz
