Rosa Márquez
the back streets of Valparaiso, Chile
Rosa Márquez grew up navigating the winding streets of Valparaíso with her father, a funeral director. She naturally took to the somber elegance of the funeral trade, developing a unique perspective on those final touches, often hugged tight by the Pacific mist, counting her steps as a form of reassurance. Her fixation on textile absorption rates is a silent testament to her determination to provide dignified send-offs, despite wrestling with insomnia and silent nights pondering life's brevity.
