I feel whole again now that I am back in my studio. I am blessed to start the year in a new space, the biggest room in our apartment. This was my gift for the New Year. It is filled with light, and fits everything I need: a desk for my computer; a couch to read on with all my books in sight; a large work bench to cut, solder and forge; and a long furniture to study the pieces I am currently working on.

A powerful portrait of me, painted by Pedro Bonnín when I was twenty years old, hangs in a corner. The colorful paintings are by Lucas and Aureliano Lorenzo.
Inspired by my friend Esther, I decided to place objects I have been collecting in an old letterpress drawer I found at the Lagunilla, my favorite flea market in Mexico City, and hang it on my studio wall.
My logo carved in wood, a rudraksha mala from India, and a thrifted painting.
