Materials: Papier-mâché, mosaic glass, paint, gold leaf, candles, flowers, resin heart.
Description:
At the centre of this shrine is the figure of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Virgin who appeared in 1531 on the hill of Tepeyac, speaking in the language of the Indigenous people and bridging a vast cultural terrain. Her image became a symbol of convergence: native earth and colonial sky, dark-skinned mother and radiant queen. This altar honours that sacred meeting. The red mosaic heart glimmers above her, gold leaf catches the candle-light, and the soft incense invites you into stillness. This is a space for your inner fire: for loving fiercely, forgiving freely, and returning to yourself again and again.
Light a candle here when you need to remember the warmth beneath your armor, when you need to be reminded that you are held, you are seen, you are home.
