A red clay ceramic vase by Elia Mateo of Taller Mujeres del Barro Rojo in Tlapasola, Oaxaca — inspired by the pochote, the spiny ceiba tree that grows throughout the Central Valleys and holds a sacred place in Oaxacan cosmology. In indigenous belief the pochote is the tree of life, its trunk connecting the underworld to the sky, its spikes protecting the boundary between worlds. Elia translates that vertical energy and protective geometry into a ceramic form: tall, textured, quietly monumental. Finished with mineral engobes and fired in a traditional kiln, it is a piece that carries both beauty and meaning.
