Un Gran Museo
Seen from above, Mexico City unfolds as a living museum, as Mexican writer and chronicler Salvador Novo mentioned. For Novo, the city itself was a work of art in constant transformation and movement, the urban life itself. Its streets, neighborhoods, avenues, and public spaces form a living tapestry that narrates centuries of history, cultural encounters, and collective transformation. Within this daily landscape resides the memory of those who traverse it and the creative energy of a society in perpetual evolution.
From this architecture of dialogue between past and present, between color, geometry, density, and movement, the inspiration for this textile work emerges. The piece interprets the city as a living, shifting pattern, capturing its pulse, rhythm, and visual poetry through a language that transforms the urban landscape into woven form.
The Great Museum unfolds across eleven large-scale textile panels, each one entering into visual conversation along the walls of the Salón Premier Nacional de Aeroméxico at Mexico City International Airport.
