Essence

The base of the sculpture, which depicts half of a mask transforming into flowering branches, was handcrafted in papier mache and metal wire. The whole piece was then covered in recycled leather, tightened with isinglass and worked with iron tools. The back of each flowers was painted with gold pigments to add luminosity. Beatriz added handpainted pistils from an antique market to complement the ensemble.
