Accessories. The Art of Hiding Essences

Plaster, false nails, paints, and nail ornaments
2017-2018
This piece presents a collection of Cuban popular taste through one of the most widely used accessories for bodily adornment: false nails. Each nail preserves a design chosen by a client and produced by a private business in Cuba, reflecting aesthetic preferences at a specific moment in the country’s social and economic context. Together, these designs form a record of personal expression shaped by local culture, desire, and resourcefulness.
