This artwork symbolizes the three stages of human life: childhood, adulthood, and old age.

Quim Hereu has a very close relationship with Mexico, and through the representation of Mexican catrinas—a girl, a woman, and an elderly lady—he evokes the eternal cycle of life and death.

Each figure, with a face carefully painted like a skull, locks eyes with the viewer, reminding us that death is always present and that we must live each day to the fullest.The catrinas emerge from a fantastical setting inspired by the crystal-clear waters of Isla Mujeres.

Surrounded by fish, candles, and skulls, these figures seem to float between the earthly and the spiritual worlds.
