Apapacho

Apapacho—a Nahuatl word meaning “to caress with the soul”—is a mural about self-love, solitude, and the lessons they bring. The portrait represents life’s journey—both fragile and powerful—while a darkened hummingbird, usually vibrant, symbolizes the absence of love. The piece reflects the transformation that comes from embracing oneself. Apapacho invites viewers to connect with their vulnerability, reminding them that true love begins within.

Lakshmi

Adorned in intricate jewelry, her presence exudes grace and blessings, while lotus flowers bloom around her—representing purity, resilience, and enlightenment. She is the embodiment of both material and spiritual wealth.
