Laura Aguilar writes that she began this series when "I was asked to put together a body of work which showed a positive image of Latina Lesbians for a mental health conference. The conference was held in my hometown, Los Angeles, and the series reflects images of Lesbians living there. What I am trying to do with the series is to provide a better understanding of what it's like to be a Latina and a Lesbian by showing images which allow us the opportunity to share ourselves openly, and to provide role models that break negative stereotypes and help develop a better bridge of understanding. I decided to add language; that was the only way I could see myself saying anything about being Latina or Lesbian."
