I am amazed by how strong the relation with death is in Mexico, a tradition that has been preserved for thousands of years since Mesoamerica. Despite being mixed nowadays with the new vision brought by the Catholic Church, people have made it their own without forgetting their past.

San Marcos
San Marcos Tlapazola, Oaxaca. Place of the Zapotec people.
In the Mayan cosmology it is said that man was made and born from the corn. For me the women of San Marcos are made from clay, water and fire. They are the Red Women.

Pottery making has been a tradition for the Zapotec people for centuries, pass from generation to generation. In San Marcos mainly women work on pottery.
Everything in their ceramic process is done by hand, they get the materials provided by their surroundings. For the burning, usually men go to the mountains and collect wood from yucca trees (mainly), putting them together and carring it back to the town.
