This highly meaningful piece shows the artist as an alebrije imagining what her grandfather is like. The one detail the artist knew about him was his Mexican ethnicity, thus the choice of showing him as the pre-Columbian feathered snake God Quetzalcoatl. For the artist’s image of her grandfather after she met him, see “Dinner Beyond the Veil.”
