Anteojos, Life Through My Lenses captures the
essence of perspective.
It embraces tradition, culture, and family.
This is the story of a Mexican-American female
who falls captive to her great-grandmother’s glasses. After
putting them on at the age of five, she begins a quest to discover
what it was she saw through those life lookers. They held a new
perspective. She discusses her past and contemplates her future.
Her memories, based on what she sees, serve as her guide to self-discovery.
As she gets older, she realizes there is more to glasses than
what meets the eye. They hold a message. It is fortune. It is
about what has happened and what is going to happen. More importantly,
it’s about what is happening.
The focus lies on four Mujeres/Women and their
views, through their own lenses. We take a flight through the
lives of these four women who have served as clear inspirations.
A view is presented as to how glasses offered each of them, and
the author, a new outlook on living. It is about visions. It is
about life.
