Teresa Margolles's sculpture, inspired by a 15th-century Aztec tower of skulls, serves as a haunting memorial to transgender victims of violence, particularly her friend Karla.
The inverted masks, resembling photographic negatives, reflect the fragility of life and memorialize the over 726 faces of transgender individuals who suffered violence, inviting deeper contemplation.
Margolles's Mil Veces un Instante confronts viewers with the stark reality of femicide in Mexico, where eleven women are murdered daily and thousands remain missing.
Despite its political implications, the artwork resists easy categorization and invites audiences to ponder the collective suffering and the human cost of violence against marginalized communities.
