"Mili & Pulgas," part of The Pandemia Series by Christina Lewis Vizcarrondo, captures the tender bond between a 3-year-old girl, Mili, and her small chiweenie dog, Pulgas. In this intimate scene, Mili holds Pulgas so tightly in her lap that the hug feels almost palpable, a gesture that reflects the deep craving for connection in a time marked by distance and isolation.

Hidden behind a lush Caribbean plant, their bond becomes even more poignant against the backdrop of the pandemic's emotional weight. The beautiful flora surrounding them adds a sense of natural serenity, yet the painting's energy conveys a longing for closeness during a time when physical interaction was limited.
