Day of the Dead in Mexico is a tradition between the ephemeral and the eternal, a celebration that challenges oblivion and life in its complete cycle. Each offering, each candle weaves an invisible network that unites us to our ancestors, reminding us of the mortality of the soul and the continuity of memory. Its origin in the harmony of Spanish Catholic rituals and the commemoration of the day of the dead of the indigenous people in pre-Hispanic times, results in the fact that on November 2 the people of Mexico celebrate death as the continuity of life and eternal memory.

The main idea is to represent that mysticism, colors, textures, symbolism, atmosphere that exists around the theme of death specifically in Mexico, and see how the people who every November 2nd, generation after generation, spend the entire night in the cemetery accompanied by their dead, talking to them and bringing them their favorite foods, it becomes a night full of magic and joy, transforming the funereal essence of death into consolation, happiness and hope for eternal life.
