My two spirits, both masculine and feminine, represent me today. The journey of constantly battling between both of them and which I identify with most has been a struggle. The struggle continues but coming to terms with both of them through art has been a good practice. Like the nopales and cacti, we don't have a single spirit that defines us; we are just one together. © Leí Rosado / Las Fotos Project
