Morillo narrates that when she traveled to Cuba, she noticed altars were made not only for the dead but for the living as a way to mend their broken relationships. At times, the altar offerings included cubes of sugar or a few spoonfuls of honey.

Inspired by these altars and Alejandro Jodorowsky's psychomagic exercises, the artist made this special edition where she submerges her mother’s photo in an attempt to transform and repair. This image is meant to change over time.

“Honey. An organic substance that mutates with movement and temperature. At times, it’s fluid and loose; in other instances, hardened into crystals. As this photograph sits inside, it mutates as well. The resulting image is not predictable.” — Erika Morillo
