- Dia De Ojo
by sam.kirk - An interpretation of Mal de Ojo meets Dis de Los Muertos, a playful villian is formed. The Ojero plays his game of Ojo, giving tricks instead of treats. This series is a celebration and expression of the playful side of the superstition and the playfulness always present in Mexican culture.
"I grew up exploring and learning about my ethnic cultures through friends and other relationships. In this series, I explored merging what I learned together to create a visual interpretation of this journey."
The Ojo series tells the story of the evil eye. The superstition goes that there are spirits wanting to play trickery constantly dancing around us, some good and some evil. 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 round the Halloween holiday.
