¿Cómo sobrellevas todo lo que está pasando: las guerras, los genocidios, la pinche migra?
Mientras intento mantener vivas mis raíces, aprendo de la naturaleza. No es fácil, pero intento centrarme en estas plantas que han sobrevivido al invierno y que darán vida a nuevas creaciones esta temporada.

How do you cope with everything that’s going on—the wars, the genocides, the fucking 🧊 crisis?
While trying to keep myself grounded, I’m learning from nature. It’s not easy, so I center myself on these plants that survived the winter and will give life to new creations this season.

Corazones
¿Qué significa pertenecer?

una invitación a reflexionar sobre las voces que son «nombradas», pero que no encajan, especialmente pensando en las voces silenciadas. Casi todxs nosotrxs, de una forma u otra, vivimos en más de un mundo o realidad.

Corazones
What does it mean to belong?

an invitation to reflect on the voices that are “named” but don’t fit in, especially those that have been silenced. Almost all of us, in one way or another, live in more than one world or reality.

love mixing up plants & extracts because the results are always mesmerizing!

these 100% cotton socks were dyed with cempasúchil (marigold) & madder extracts, the colors remind me of summer and nieve de mango!
