In Tex-Mex, Juan Fuentes portrays two elders—one a Vietnam veteran—standing together with strength and dignity. Their clothing, patches, and tattoos reflect layered histories of service, identity, and cultural memory. The bold patterning behind them reinforces a sense of resilience and shared legacy. Fuentes honors Chicano veterans and community elders by depicting them as carriers of lived experience and cultural pride.
