llorona beloved

this is the first of a series i am taking of a modern tale of la llorona i am writing, one in which we see the beauty that could be behind this story, one that is not so steeped in mysogeny, like this and the medea story, i intend to create images that will show llorona as the spirit of a loving mother who protects all children in an effort to pay retribution and homage to those she lost in life. models for this are: cori martinez, and my nephew Marcus Alejandro Xavier Rath.
