Milagros are traditionally small metal jewelry pieces or amulets attached to statues or images of saints in gratitude for a miracle or as a request for one to occur.
In this body of work, the collection of pendants and pins is made from silver chains embedded in black polyurethane creating a mix of images inspired both by original Milagros and by everyday reality. The combination creates a new and unexpected narrative that touches on universal and local points of pain and hope. The wearer carries an object of prayer, yearning for the healing of wounds in body and soul.
