El Mohán

This hammered silver vessel is inspired by the myth of a man with a beard who lives in the river and abducts girls when they go to wash their clothes at the riverbanks. This story belongs to the Colombian collective imagination, especially in the Middle Magdalena region. The piece is an abstraction of a man with a long beard who is sitting in waiting.
