Santa María Magdalena del Maíz

2022 - 2023

Hammered and laminated brass maize leaves with silver inlays on chiffon fabric

60 × 40 × 120 cm

A ceremonial garment that speaks to the syncretism between Mexican Indigenous worldviews and Catholic iconography. Inspired by the sacred figure of Mary Magdalene and the spiritual symbolism of maize, the piece becomes a meeting point between the divine and the earthly. A tribute to the field as altar, and to the cycles of nourishment, devotion, and survival
