GOOD LUCK COMING BACK TO TEXAS, MIJA!, 2024

The painting GOOD LUCK COMING BACK TO TEXAS, MIJA! (2024) is based on one of b chehayeb’s memories of a recent conversation with her tia (aunt). Mija—short for mi hija, or my daughter—is a term of affection used frequently in most Spanish-speaking cultures. the texas in my memory is nothing like what it is anymore. it's emotional to visit now that i am adult. telling her i do miss all the dirt and grass from time to time. —b chehayeb
