DEATH GREETINGS ME WARM
My artwork collaboration for the collective exhibition “24 Petals”, as part of the “Day of the Dead” Mexican celebration!
Day of the Dead history goes back 3,000 years to the days when the Aztecs ruled the land. In Aztec culture, mourning and crying over the dead was considered disrespectful, and instead, the dead were remembered with joy, and their lives were celebrated. After someone died, the Aztecs believed that souls went into an afterlife that wasn’t far from the real world. Souls were able to stay close to their families, and at the beginning of each summer, families would set up shrines to pay respect to their departed loved ones.
The Day of the Dead meaning to Mexicans runs deep and encompasses culture, tradition, community, and celebration.
