Catrina
The Catrina, an emblematic icon of mexican culture. This elegant and skeletal figure personifies death in a unique and touching way. It is a reminder of our mortality and an invitation to embrace life. It teaches us that death is not the end, but a transformation into a new existence. Because the soul goes far beyond a body and, of course, far beyond a life. It is a celebration of the continuity of life through the generations and an opportunity to honor those who have gone before us. The catrina reminds us that death is an integral part of the human experience, a stage that must be embraced with respect and acceptance.
