Dead Lovers No. 15 depicts multiple, or perhaps the refracted image of a single body, immersed in water. Vibrant and colorful, the bodies take on a beautiful yet eerie effect. The bodies of deceased family and friends are immediately reminiscent of Victor’s continuing loss throughout the novel. This piece also evokes powerful memories for Mekia, who was inspired by the death of her beloved best friend who drowned while attempting to immigrate illegally to the United States as a child.

Our Hahnemühle Pearl Giclee paper has a smooth orange peel texture and resin coating which creates a fibrous feel and satin-like finish. With a bright neutral white base, it creates natural black and white images and offers vibrant color reproduction. Combined, this great mixture of qualities give the print the feel of an oil painting.  

Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
