She came with gifts of gold

A turquoise and orange painting depicts a full-grown adult woman emerging from her mother's womb. A smiling gold and bronze hermaphrodite sculpture with male features on one side and female features on the other holds a plate atop its head. Encased in another sculpture, a large eye is surrounded by many smaller eyes gazing in different directions.

Mexican artist Claudia Hecht arrived in a bright red suit and matching lipstick that reflected the brilliant spectrum of colors portrayed in her artwork.

Her artwork is on display in the University Union Exhibit Lounge.
