The tradition of offering a votive object to a god in thanks or petition can be found in ancient Greece, pre-Columbian America, Iran and India. In the west, these votive objects are called ex-votos, from the Latin meaning "from a vow." In Mexico, they are known as retablos.

Ex-Votos Collection

The ex-votos collection is inspired by my childhood memories of seeing people making vows and requests at holy sites. It is made of a combination of silver and green cloth, which are tied to pilgrimage sites.
