One thing I have always loved a lot about Lillian Aguinaga is her authenticity and ability to share how she’s experiencing the world on a canvas.
Watching her work evolve over the years has been a gift. And the 2 prints she has choosen to release this season couldn’t be more timely.

Echoes of Her ✨
This painting depicts an intimate moment of femme solidarity and support. It emphasizes how womxn’s shared experiences create bonds that transcend individual suffering and how we hold space for each other during difficult times. Two figures are shown at a table - one sitting upright and offering comfort, while another leans forward, her posture suggesting vulnerability or grief. In the mirror, only one reflection appears, creating a visual metaphor. The missing reflection symbolizes the temporary loss of self that often accompanies profound grief, while the present reflection represents the continuity of support and shared experience. The intertwined hands at the center of the composition underscore the connection between the figures, suggesting how womxn hold space for each other during difficult times.
I AM ✨
A visual manifesto of the battle for bodily autonomy - a declaration of the fundamental human right to make decisions about one's own body without interference or apology. In this piece, the mirror transforms from a space where we typically confront society's judgments into a canvas for revolution. The writing on the mirror is inscribed with red lipstick, something often associated with societal expectations of feminine beauty, and repurposes it as a tool of protest to declare absolute self-sovereignty.
Nicole, both subject and poet, inscribes her truth with deliberate precision. Her words "I Apologize for Nothing" cut through generations of expectations that people with uteruses should justify their choices, their bodies, their presence. The title and phrase "I AM" is a declaration that one's being is enough. It enforces the message that echoes through time with all who have had to declare not just "we exist," but "we decide who we are.”
