Marengo Sanchez sees her work as a way to honor her hometown, San Antonio, Texas. By cherishing the local cuisine of tacos, conchas, and fruit cups, the artist can create a common language with Texans and her viewers worldwide: "Food experiences are attached to people. By highlighting just the food, it creates icons, but ultimately, it reminds you of the people you’ve experienced or where you come from.”
