Yvette Mayorga’s multidisciplinary practice blends Rococo iconography, militarization, confectionary aesthetics, and consumer objects to create intricate worlds. As a first-generation Latinx artist, she challenges utopian visions of immigration while disrupting the art historical canon. In her signature pink and frosted style, "The Reenactment with Nike Air Jordans After the Last Supper" is inspired by a childhood photograph.
The work features her nieces and nephew at a dining table filled with flip phones, gilded plates, and rose stems. Dressed in 18th-century attire, the nieces wear embellished acrylic nails, while the nephew holds Nike sneakers. Mayorga’s work incorporates Rococo elements, including a reproduction of The Last Supper that has been in her parents’ dining room for over thirty years.

Carlos Rodriguez’s practice—spanning paintings, drawings, and ceramics—explores the male body, gender identity, and sexual desire. Based in Mexico City, he draws inspiration from classical art and self-taught artists like Henri Rousseau. His playful works often depict men in games and fantasies, with "Garras Protectoras" symbolizing protection and companionship through a bear sheltering a male figure.

José Lerma, grew up in Puerto Rico and splits his time between San Juan and Chicago, creates installations using everyday materials tied to both work and life. "Rosas Grises (Pink)" depicts the gesture of giving flowers, crafted with silicone and polypropylene—two widely traded industrial materials. Through this, Lerma comments on bodily autonomy and political economy within global capitalism, and highlights the exploitation of Latino construction workers that underpins the American economy.
