Flora Yucateca
In this series, I embody a profound awareness in the Yucatan with gratitude for the botanical diversity in Mexico. Flowers are layered with orbs of light (spirit/ancestor) and positioned against the vibrant colors of Merida’s Colonias. In Maya thinking, health is not an absence of illness, but an equilibrium with nature and supernatural forces.
