From ALRATITO studio, Mexico City | Los Angeles
MARFA — In the heart of the desert, the agave endures, a quiet force of beauty and resilience. This exhibition draws on its mythic symbolism, exploring themes of transformation, protection, and rebirth. Like the goddess Mayahuel, who reawakened as an agave plant, each piece channels evolution through form, texture, and color. With sculptural works that echo fibrous strength, the show invites reflection on cycles of growth and the power of patience. Versatile and vital, the agave becomes a lens for design that blurs the line between art and function.
Architectures of Agave: Shapes of Endurance will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., June 5-8 at Do Right Hall, 110 W Dallas Street.
