La Caída de Balam: The Fall of the Jaguar
This is inspired by the the death of the Mayan people by the hands of the Spanish
"Antinomy narrates the harmony between the feminine and the masculine, a constant struggle for contemporary women. Women as strong as the jaguar, capable of facing everyday challenges. Those who, with their tenacity, manage to rediscover themselves and emerge as a new interpretation of themselves, like snakes. The ever-delicate woman also possesses the strength of a Balam warrior.
I want collectors to witness these women's unedited feelings through these pieces, rather than just their lovely faces or adorable ribbons. A continuous metamorphosis of the former self—what really distinguishes us."
