MATRIX: THE MOTHERBOARD

Some are tributes, others are drawings, poems. Some ask forgiveness, some grant pardon. Some are simple, other prodigious. Such are the "Letter to Mother" - aka MATRIX. 
Interactive at its core, it invites visitors to sit, contemplate, and then write on one of the small paper huipils provided. The concept of Mother, I explain, is varied and vast, open to personal interpretation. 'Mother' is one of the common threads of our existence; we all come from a mother, in human terms. That idea alone binds us together as a species.

Brothers enjoy their own notes to mother. 

Visiting school groups love the Matrix!

The variety of Mother terms gets interpreted according to one's notion of the word.

"When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me....."

A thank you letter to Mother Nature.

Prayer to Divine Mother

Mom, you are inspiration. I love you.

"I never found sufficient words, poems, songs, that can
describe the immensity of my love for you."

... and many just wait for translations because I really don't know what they say.
