Created from hand-blown glass, Lágrimas (2002) references Mexican folk glass craft. Arranged in a linear formation on a pristine white plinth, dozens of vessels of varying sizes create a quiet procession. Their thick glass surfaces refract and layer images of the gallery and the viewer while suspended beads, delicate chains, and symbolic forms suggest talismans and fragments of memory. Each vessel becomes a kind of emotional container, which the artist calls a "tear specimen".
Rooted in the visual image of Mexican craft traditions — saturated colors, beadwork and amulets, festal and devotional objects — the work balances ritual intensity with intimate familiarity.
As viewers move around it, reflections draw them into an internal mirrored world where memory and reality merge. Repetition and variation establish a rhythm, echoing folk aesthetics while extending into contemporary spatial experience.
