Gazing defiantly at the viewer, the subject, a young woman in her early twenties is surrounded by house plants and bouquets of tropical flowers. A large rosary drapes over her left leg. She sits on a pink blanket on a turquoise chair. Crystal droplets adorn the rich dirt beneath her feet. A shell that is a speaker IRL is positioned in the right-hand bottom corner. A palm dipped in resin from the original bouquet on her right side is to her left. Clouds hover above her head in a turquoise sky. The title of the piece is taken from her family nickname, a Tagalog word meaning 'prophet'. Small jewels and shells embellish the surface and the 'mask'.

Born and raised in the Philippines, her family immigrated to Detroit which, like many cities in the U.S., continues to have a strong demand for nurses. Few people know that of the many nurses who have been exposed to or died from COVID, Filipina nurses are overrepresented. Propeta reflects on pollution and climate change, as her homeland, like many island nations in the Pacific, is one of the first places affected by climate change. The history of colonization and militarization on the island and her experience as an immigrant are key topics of discussion as well.
