A photograph of a woman standing in a kitchen, right center, visible from the waist up. Her hair is piled on top of her head and she looks off to the left; she is holding a silver bowl in both arms, both of which are tattooed. She wears a baggy, dark colored shirt and a chain. Behind her are wood cabinets, a countertop with various kitchen appliances and utensils, and a stove.

This artwork was featured at the GVSU Art Museum as part of the 2024 exhibition, "A Single Thread: Being Latinx in West Michigan." The exhibit sought to bring a better understanding to the complexities of what it means to "be Latinx" in the United States. The artists, while representing various countries and cultures of origin, offered unique perspectives through a multitude of mediums that examined connections to Indigenous histories, hip-hop culture, immigration stories, queer community, agriculture, climate change, disability, identity, and trauma.

On her work, Nancy Toledo Jimenez states, "As an artist, I am passionate about connecting with and capturing the essence of people. My portraiture is characterized by its moody, intimate, and palpable nature with a focus on the unique beauty in each person. This project is specifically rooted in safety, comfort, and visibility.  Safe spaces are crucial for LGBTQIA+ individuals, providing supportive and bias-free environments where they can fully express the breadth of their identities...My hope through this series is to both highlight the importance of safe spaces and also give voice to LGBTQIA+ individuals to showcase the diversity that exists within our community. 
Ultimately showing the joy, freedom, love, creativity, and peace that exists when given the safety, visibility, and space to do so."
