This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UPRM chapter.
“Hierba mala nunca muere.” / “Weeds never die.”
Continuing with the celebrations of International Women’s Day, UPRM has decorated its streets with purple ribbons which declare a need for equity and peace and once more, the floors of Chardon Building have been decorated by the students of the arts. In this specific drawing, we have a naked woman sprouting from a plant. Her root-like arms make an allusion to the idea of Mother Nature and that women and nature are one. In turn, the quote expresses that women are invincible and no matter how many times we are knocked down, we will get back up and fight for who we are.
