Sculptures in the form of cacao, crafted in beeswax with bronze detailing on copper plates. Series of three.

In this work, beeswax is elevated as a noble material—more precious than gold—for its ephemerality, its scent, its organic memory, and its deep connection to cycles of life and death. A gift from the hive, beeswax speaks of collective labor, resilience, and sacred offerings.

The cacao form evokes its ancestral role as a cosmological seed in Latin America: a vessel of knowledge, ritual, and exchange; a symbol of fertility, death, and rebirth. Used as currency and sacred food, cacao connects terrestrial and celestial realms.

Together, wax and cacao form a dialogue between matter and myth—an offering to the invisible forces that shape the visible world.
