Maria Fernanda Camarena and Gabriel Rosas Aleman, working under the name Celeste, create large-scale textile installations that transform galleries and museums into warm, inviting spaces. Their work, inspired by pandemic-induced isolation, features an earthy color palette derived from natural dyes to evoke feelings of solace and safety. The installations invite viewers to engage with the art in communal settings, fostering mindfulness through shared experiences. Projects like "Against fear and darkness, the colorful and happy party" integrate community input and celebrate joyous interactions, demonstrating the artists' commitment to care and connection through their creative practice.
"There's a quiet mindfulness in both that aligns perfectly with what we aim to express."
"This concept of solace stayed with us, and today, the palette has come to symbolize safe spaces, with the womb as a recurring motif."
