Did you realize the Monarchs return to their Mexican home of origin right around Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead? They are often believed to bring messages of those who yearn to communicate with their loved ones. This belief transcends religions, even agnostic ones. Butterflies seem to have an in with those who've passed.
Now who is Catrina? You've seen her during every festival surrounding the Day of the Dead; the woman in elaborate clothing and a face of bone. Her origins trace back to Mictēcacihuātl – the queen of the Aztec underworld of Chicunamictlan. Her role was to watch over the bones of the dead and greet the dead when they broke through the veil. The term Catrina followed long after, as a political commentary that those with the worst greed are exactly the same in the end as that of the most humble pauper. In the end, they equally reduce to rot and bone.
I was compelled to design this shirt to release the energy of these truths bottled up inside me. I believe in the power behind decomposition, I believe the Monarchs are messengers, I believe people who think they are more noble because they hoard riches are fools. We tend to adore Halloween in the U.S. and approve of Dia de Los Muertos in Mexico. It would serve us all to continue to ask deeper questions of why.
If you'd like a version without the pocket image of the butterfly and skull in the front, send me a message with color/size and I can make a special one for you. It will reduce the price a little.
