The nopal cactus thrives in harsh conditions. Its succulent flesh is protected with needle-like spines. It regenerates easily. These traits make the nopal cactus an ideal refuge for those in need of food, drink, or shelter.
May your Vessel Be is a response to the domestic Violence portion of The 2019 Status of Women in San Antonio report. This artwork invokes the sacred nopal in a protections spell or prayer for women experiencing domestic violence in our city and beyond:
May your vessel be protected.
May your vessel be healed.
May your vessel be replenished.
May your vessel be.
