The Feminine Fighter

Mariajuanita Guzman

A figure seen from behind, one arm raised into her hair, wrapped in emerald green against warm olive. A small tattoo sits at the nape of her neck. Nothing about the pose is asking for your attention.

A self-portrait, in her words: part of a series about how she dealt with hardship at different stages of her life. The Female Fighter, 2018, is her digital version of it.
