Artist, Guatemalan, born 1957

The image shows a close-up portrait of a young woman, capturing her head and shoulders. Her facial expression is neutral, with dark eyes looking directly at the viewer. She has dark, straight hair that is pulled back, framing her face. A measuring tape is wrapped around her head, indicating numbers in a sequence, and her shoulders are draped in a dark fabric. The background is a plain, textured surface. On the left of the image, there is an open book with aged, textured pages featuring text in Spanish. The text appears old, with visible marks and lines suggesting wear and age.
