Anahi and the Coral Tree, 2019 Installation / Lucia Warck-Meister
Anahi narrates the legendary tale of a young Latin American indigenous woman who faced the brutality of conquistadors, only to find solace and transformation in the form of a Ceibo tree. Through their visual storytelling, the artist reimagines this ancestral narrative as a powerful symbol of resilience and the enduring bond between humanity and the environment.
