The artwork of Jacqueline Romo ’19 is the subject of an article published by Chicago Catholic newspaper on Feb. 28, 2024.

Referencing the Stations of the Cross, Romo’s “The Passion of the Monarca Migrante” uses monarch butterflies to symbolize the struggles of migrants.

The monarch butterfly symbolizes Jesus and, in depicting the crucifixion, each woodcut printed panel also tells of migrant experiences. In the first station, for example, when Jesus is condemned to death, the butterfly is pictured caught in barbed wire, similar to imprisonment.
