This piece marks the beginning of Julia’s first series, FÚNEBRE, born from the deep pain of losing her mother back home. It captures the emptiness of not saying goodbye, the absence of held hands.

A black veil—symbol of mourning—flows through the work, set against cold tones of white, grey, and black. With subtle hints of her homeland’s color, Julia honors her mother while expressing grief, heartbreak, and love through visual silence.
