Laurel Sabino y Jaguilla
Beatriz Santiago Muñoz
What might it sound like when a magnolia thinks and speaks? Laurel Sabino y Jaguilla is the common name of a species of magnolia native to the artist’s birthplace and home on the island of Puerto Rico. Magnolia splendens is from an ancient genus that dates back 20 million years. While this flowering plant has survived ice ages, mountain formation and continental drift, it is now endangered by logging and climate change.
