Rooted in the folkloric traditions of rural Spain, Si buscas milagros, mira ("If you are looking for miracles, look here") reimagines the peto de ánimas as a sacred space honoring the physical and maternal miracle of life. At its center is the artist’s son’s preserved placenta, encased in cement tiles cast from human cadaver skin. The work reflects on motherhood, bodily memory, and the overlooked power of the feminine. It embraces what is often hidden or feared, offering a quiet reclamation of ancestral knowledge and reverence for the corporeal.
