Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz

Description

The most complex piece, both in terms of the number of elements and its symbolic significance. The woman who is confined yet empowered, possessing extraordinary intelligence and sensitivity. Sor Juana, labyrinthine, a snail-skeleton contained within another skeleton that seems to give birth with a scream, a burst of laughter, or a song; beautiful and deformed, supported by inverted hands and feet, and on her chest—instead of the medallion depicting the Annunciation—the mirror of smoke, a symbol closely associated with the god Tezcatlipoca.
An exclusive piece produced using ancestral techniques, meticulously crafted in lost-wax bronze for those who truly appreciate high-quality Mexican art.
Its finishes can be enhanced with precious stones, enamel, fabric, or seashells.*
