This vibrant, raised tile illustrates the simple pleasures of life, depicting a relaxing bath after a long workday. It celebrates the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), a Mexican tradition observed on November 2nd. During this time, families honor their deceased loved ones by visiting cemeteries, decorating graves with marigolds, candles, and personal mementos, and creating altars known as "ofrendas" adorned with offerings such as the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. This practice reflects a joyful remembrance, emphasizing the celebration of life and the enduring bonds between the living and the dead.
La Catrina, originally created by Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada, has become an iconic symbol of this holiday, representing the Mexican perspective on death as an integral and inevitable part of life. Her elegant portrayal reminds us that, regardless of social status, we are all equal in the face of mortality.
