Victoria Garc???a designs an imaginative pair of masks reminiscent of Peruvian festival tradition. Original and surreal, the masks feature just one eye; the irises hang like mystic pendulums. Garc???a finds inspiration in the masks worn by dancers during the feast of Our Lady of Candelaria, celebrated in the city of Puno. The ceramic masks are painted with engobe in the colors worn by the dancers.
