"Let Love Win borrows the format of a project I created 15 years ago titled A Year in Review. The process consisted of color coding and tracing selected newspaper photos onto a piece of soft metal resembling a contemporary version of a religious votive or milagro. Traditional milagros are small charms used as offerings or for healing purposes widely popular in Mexico and Latin America folklore tradition. The powerful significance attached to these modest, soft pieces of pushed metal with their enduring, sincere and sentimental value prompted me to respond in a contemporary context."

Let Love Win was featured at Luis De Jesus Los Angeles as part of the group exhibition titled Unreachable Spring, October 17, through December 19, 2020. Participating artists included June Edmonds, André Hemer, Laura Krifka, Kambui Olujimi, Edra Soto, and Peter Williams.
