In this early, performative action, the artist inserts the stems of flowers into her clothing one by one until her face is obscured. Created in Iowa, this work foreshadows Imágen de Yágul, one of Mendieta’s most well-known photographs taken in Mexico the same year, in which she instead covers her body with flowers.
