Provenance
Ciudad de MéxicoFrontal portrait of a figure in the midst of weeping. The background combines curved patterns with jagged designs, resembling mountainous landscapes that plunge into depth, while the figure appears largely covered with small scales that contrast with lines and triangles. The area corresponding to the neck is densely charged, featuring architectural motifs such as buildings and staircases, along with beings with eyes. The tears—blue—are among the few notes of color; moreover, in their descent they seem to open up a free, empty space.
