Her show, 鈥淭he Leaving: An Exhibition of Taking and Leaving Behind,鈥 is on exhibit through Jan. 22 at the gallery, located in the city鈥檚 Pilsen Arts District. It鈥檚 a multi-media exploration of what people take forward and what must stay behind. Sanchez said the pieces in the show were inspired by visits to the remnants of the small town of Goeselville, Ill.
