Abstract [en]
A project around loss and absence. This work is a reflection on tradition, mourning and the importance to remember. Based on how crafts relate to society in ceremonial contexts by being a tool to communicate with others.
By having a reflective relation with tradition this fiber works intend to transfer the innate poetic language of symbolic materials used in rituals around death and commemoration in Mexico into new forms through specific repetitive actions in the making.
Delving into the unique physical qualities of onion skin, sugar, beeswax, corn husks and paper. Seeking to evoke an emotion by diverting our perception of ordinary materials.
