the artwork titled " Baby Moses and the Nile" depicts the well-known scene of baby Moses being set adrift downtime river Nile by his mother to protect him from Pharaoh's decree of executing all make babies. The art piece portrays Pharaoh's daughter and her attendants receiving the basket containing Moses. Additionally, at the bottom of the picture, Moses' mother and her daughter are shown launching him into the river. 

The artist draws inspiration from Mexican art to create this piece, incorporating elements from the artistic tradition. By doing so, the artist aims to iconize Moses with his art, elevating the significance of both the character and the vessel. The art not only serves as a means to keep baby Moses afloat but also symbolizes a divine haven. It becomes an object of reverence and importance similar to a king's throne, suggesting the sanctity and importance of the infant's journey. 

The artwork castes a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Moses. It emphasizes the theme of divine intervention and protection, as Moses is ultimately saved and raised by Pharaoh's daughter, leading to his future role as a leader and liberator of the Israelites. 

By incorporating elements from Mexican and African art, the artist adds a cultural and artistic perspective to the biblical narrative, offering a unique interpretation of the scene.
