Short Description:
A healer stands in direct relation to both the visible and unseen worlds. The curandera, rooted in Indigenous and mestiza traditions of the Americas, works through an understanding that the body, spirit, and environment are inseparable. The mirrors suggest both protection and reflection: the ability to see what has been hidden, fragmented, or broken, and to gather it back into wholeness.
