No Te Olvides is an installation centered on absence, time, and memory. A doily originally made by my mother;one of many she created by hand, appears here not as an object, but as a fragile imprint of dust on a table I built in reference to her dining room set. The work stems from a moment in Mexico during the summer of 2025, when, while cleaning her home, I noticed the delicate outline of a doily pressed into dust on her nightstand. An image both temporary and enduring. By recreating this scene, I hold onto that trace as a form of presence, honoring the quiet labor and care embedded in my mother’s hands. The imprint becomes a marker of what is left behind through migration: family, language, and everyday rituals. Yet it also resists disappearance, insisting that even as time and distance reshape us, we carry our origins with us. This work is a reminder that we do not forget: our histories remain, even in the most subtle and fleeting forms.
