A little photo dump of A Light That Remains 🕯️💜

Growing up, my family never formally celebrated Día de los Muertos. It wasn’t until I was older that I began creating my own ofrendas in my home and finding my own connection to the tradition. Through that, I realized that so much of its meaning had already existed within my family in quieter ways. One of those being , we light candles.. for prayer, for protection, for remembrance, and for the people we love / lost .

The flame has always represented something bigger to me.. hope and the idea that even after someone is gone, their light can still remain. That became the heart of this piece. A Light That Remains is my offering, a little piece of my family, my faith, and the love and light we continue to carry for our angels.

Creating this during a year of so much loss made every part of it feel more meaningful. It became a way to honor my grandpa , my peanut , and to sit with those memories, and create something beautiful from the love that remains.

The Virgen is surrounded by flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, cacti, different pieces of nature, this is where I’ve personally always felt closest to God/ my spirituality. I’ve always associated butterflies and dragonflies with angels and little reminders that the people we love are still near, showing us signs🤍

I am so grateful to everyone who helped me bring this vision to life, for my support system , my friends & family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart . I couldn’t do what I do without you all .

A special thank you to @_mmcreative @historicpearl, for giving me and so many other artists the opportunity and space to create and showcase our art with the San Antonio community. 💜

Lastly, a huge special thank you to Raul Hernandez Jr for capturing my piece so beautifully. 📸✨ Thank you!

First look at Santonia Cantina: @santoniacantina is joining us at Pearl for our Día De Los Muertos celebration.

If you stop by, we definitely recommend giving their papas a try. by @historicpearl

Pearl invites you to take part in our Community Ofrenda, “Remember Me.” 🦋

Contribute a photo or heartfelt note in honor of a loved one who has passed, celebrating the love, memories, and legacy they’ve left behind.

Designed and handcrafted by artist Mary Carmen Sessions (@marycarmenartalchemist), the altar draws inspiration from the monarch butterfly and its special connection to Día de los Muertos.

Each year, monarchs make their migration from Canada to Mexico, arriving around the time we welcome the souls of our departed loved ones. Their journey has become a beautiful symbol of transformation, remembrance, and the belief that, for a few days, those we have lost return to be near us once again.

Near the altar, you’ll find two trees where you can write a loved one’s name and a personal message, then hang it from the branches in their honor.

You’re also invited to stand between the monarch wings, take a photo, and symbolically become part of the journey. 🦋 by @historicpearl

Immerse yourself in the stunning Ofrendas (altars), Calaveras, Alebrijes, and Windphones displayed around Pearl. These captivating installations, created by talented artists, are here for a limited time!
