The photo's caption in Spanish reads"Por Ustedes y Para Ustedes," which translates to"because of you, and for you."
The photo was the result of an assignment for a global arts studies class where Ocegueda and her classmates were to portray a political issue through art. She knew that she wanted the photo to feature her parents in their typical work attire while she wore her graduation cap and stole. This juxtaposition, she said, illustrated how her parents’ hard work and determination had led her to her success.
