This work is an allegory of the power contained within nature, a reminder that all life vibrates with the same ancestral voice of the earth.

Huichol bead art is  a traditional Mexican art form where artisans cover three-dimensional objects, like masks and figurines, in intricate, vibrant designs made of tiny glass beads. 

 This meticulous process involves pressing the beads, which are often #11 size, into a base of wax or resin that is applied to the surface, and the symbols and patterns are derived from ancient Huichol culture and visions.

Made by families from diverse rural communities including the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Chihuahua, and Oaxaca.

The central idea of this project consists of disseminating, commercializing and revaluing pieces of Mexican art, traditionally considered as "handicrafts"; in addition to showing that the realization of a piece and its mythical symbolism are intimately intricate with a social and cultural dimension, little known to the world.
