Nuestra Señora de Las Iguanas (Our Lady of the Iguanas) Possibly 1979 - 1990

"Nuestra Señora de Las Iguanas (Our Lady of the Iguanas)" is a striking black and white photograph taken by renowned Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The photograph depicts a woman in a floral blouse with several iguanas perched atop her head, creating a powerful visual metaphor that evokes the intersection of religion, nature, and cultural identity. Iturbide's work often explores themes of Mexican folklore and indigenous traditions, and this image serves as a testament to her ability to capture the essence of everyday life in a visually arresting manner.
