Description / Interpretation: 

A Chicano worker stands enslaved by modern technology while his family watches television, mesmerized by images of sex, violence, and patriotism. In the center, a young boy sits reading about Mexican history. Behind him the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl swoops down from the sun to encourage him. Restored in 1993 by MCLA. Photo: © Robin Dunitz
