Abstract
El Otro Cielo is an exhibition that mixes family items with personal creations, symbolizing the balance between evolving and staying connected to your roots. The work is about embracing change while remembering where you come from. This exhibition explores the stages to find one's true self while adapting to new cultures and changing over time. This installation delves into the complexities of cultural identity, memory, and the human experience. The space invites viewers to contemplate their own relationships with place, nostalgia, and the ongoing process of self-discovery.
