  • DIA DE OJO
    The Ojo series tells the story of the evil eye. The superstition goes that there are spirits, some good and some evil, wanting to play trickery constantly dancing around us. They come in all forms and feed off all kinds. In particular, they come in the form of the dia de los muertos skeletons or soul, usually unexpected that reels us in.
    He plays his game of Ojo and this series is a celebration and expression of the playful side of the superstition and the playfulness always present in Mexican culture.
