"Mortality, to me, is just a part of this wild ride we call life," says Roberto Zavala, who is used to having his paintings displayed at SLCC exhibitions. "Every culture views and celebrates the act of passing on from the physical world in such unique ways, and it is the memories that will always remain with us. Moreover, those memories are sometimes more alive than those of us who remain in the physical world."

Alejandro Martinez, who has three pieces as part of the exhibition, shares that the theme is something he enjoys. "Culturally speaking, the Day of the Dead is a celebration that I am not a stranger to,” says Alejandro. "A celebration where we all can remember our ancestors and loved ones that no longer are here with us."
La Mortalidad presents an artistic side, full of color and life, to a widely observed celebration. It reflects the beauty and fragility of life. The exhibit allows attendees to be transported to a world of mystery and melancholy where life ends and another one begins. La Mortalidad: A Matter of Life and Death is open until November 17, 2023, at Salt Lake Community College South City Campus George and Dolores Dore Eccles Art Gallery.
