Te Quiero Hasta la Luna
Even with her strong will and personality, I love her unconditionally, like no other. I know I could survive without my husband, even though I love him. I know he would also be fine without me.

Anthotype Dress Christine Elfman Interviewed by Kija Lucas What is the role of history in your work both in terms of concept and process? History tells me what a thing is made of, its origins, past, meaning over time. I am interested in how things are made and where they come from. Many of my projects [...]
Te Quiero Hasta la Luna
There is no bond like the one of a mother and child when a mother breast feeds her child. There is nothing more selfless than giving of yourself in this way, giving her body the nutrients she needs so that she can be strong and healthy
