Description
The title was inspired by Our Lady of the Angels, the saint after whom the city of Los Angeles is named. The image is an idealistic one, expressing a desire for world harmony by portraying a Latina with the flags of more than 100 countries draped around her. The Mexican flag is over her heart, with that of the United States directly below.
