Altar created with natural materials dedicated to my great grandmother, Susie Carreño, whose health began rapidly declining as she faced onset demetia.

Más Que una Caja is a rumination on grieving what is not fully gone, rituals and practices of protection passed down through matriarchs, guided by feeling and intuition.
