This weaving made of natural materials (alpaca, wool, cotton) and industrial and urban materials (neon lights and truck lights) is characteristic of Kenia Almaraz Murillo's work, between traditional craft and modernity. It is her discovery of the city of Dubai during a recent trip that inspired her to create this luminous weaving that reproduces the verticality of a building. She relates this experience: "That evening, I let myself be guided by all the blue lights of the Marina and its immense buildings, which were for me like giant masks. I felt like I was walking across Easter Island or surrounded by stone totems floating on the ocean. I looked up at the sky, looking for the moon, and among those stars, one tower caught my eye. Torre Azul was born at that moment."
