About this work

This print shows a skeleton dressed like a worker, wearing a red hat and apron. It’s holding a basket full of bright green raisins with yellow leaves around it. The background is red with a yellow circle behind the skeleton, and the text says *"Sun Mad Raisins"* in bold letters. The raisins are labeled as "unnaturally grown" with chemicals like pesticides. This print uses sharp colors and simple shapes to make a bold statement about food. Look up Ester Hernández next to see more of her work.
