She draws from a place of tension, holding onto a process, an awareness of land, innate behaviors, and a place for the unfolding.

Working and living in Mexico City, Magic Eye aims to create new narratives. Here, the elements are silver and stone. Mercurial metals radiate through individuals. Liquid light protects them. They invite others to allow these adornments to surround them, compelled by collective care & action. Silver has the desire to transform the beloved.

Silver is resilient, breathing in unbreathable circumstances of everyday life in the chokehold of racial, gendered, ableist capitalism.
