IUKA, Miss - Artist Jose Torres, who moved from Peribam, Mexico, to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, has created murals in 43 states over the past 13 years.

His current project, 'La Catrina,' is on display at the new Mexican Restaurant in Iuka, El Vera Cruz.

As a central symbol of the Day of the Dead, La Catrina represents the cycle of life and death. This iconic figure embodies the Mexican people's choice to honor and celebrate their deceased loved ones.
