MEXICO CITY ART WEEK 2024: AN OFRENDA TO MYSTERY MEXICO CITY ART WEEK 2024: AN OFRENDA TO MYSTERY

How often in the name of love we kill the space between us only to be left mourning past times of a more secret existence? An ofrenda to the mystery that once fired desire, then silently, without warning, without violence, is killed by our insatiable need to be fully seen, fully loved.

The Bea and the Perla veils: taking a new form to shape the central piece of the altar. Love is a magical cycle of untamed resilience. A sudden gust of wind can flare up a once thought extinguished fire. Mystery is a place. A place to be explored and experienced. Always available if we live our lives and our loves with curiosity. There is endless discovery, adventure and wonder, even in the darkest depths of the night. For in the cycle of love, there is always beauty to find.

All the feelings there are to feel, wanted to be seen. 

Cada mañana de Dios es una sorpresa para Él mismo. God as a metaphor for life. Everyday is new, with all its mysteries. To make this piece we used the artwork from our Jardin veil to evoke the enigmatic existence we wake up to every day. Honouring what is revealed to us and what remains unknown. Embroidery on tulle and glass beading over an old nature photograph.

A reinterpretation of our Laguna veil, part of our Altar to Mystery.
