This week’s  Pink Thing of the Day is a mural depicting the tear-streaked face of a sad Latina woman set against a rosy pink background, emblazoned with the words Gracias Por Nada (“Thanks for Nothing”). The piece is by San Jose–based Latinx artist Danny Sauce (aka Danielle Saucedo), known for her signature “Saucy Girls” — expressive, self-styled characters that channel her own likeness and emotional depth. While the mural’s message feels steeped in cynicism, the radiant pink glow behind it hints at resilience — a reminder that even in dark times, light and strength remain within reach.

Spotted in Freeman Alley, NYC.
