This photograph shows a child’s red Mickey Mouse zip-up sweatshirt, covered in dirt and paired against a contrasting, bright blue background. The title references the Catholic Virgen de Guadalupe, a popular saint in Mexican culture who protects and watches over her followers. The positioning of the sweatshirt, especially its draped hood, recalls images of the holy Virgin.
