    What is Escultura Ven a la Luz?

    Made from wood, steel, rope, and natural fibers, the sculpture depicts a serene female figure opening her chest to reveal a interior filled with greenery. This powerful gesture symbolizes humanity’s deep connection with nature and invites viewers to reflect on their place within the natural world. Popper’s work emphasizes the importance of ecological awareness and the fragile beauty of Tulum’s coastal environment. ​
