Zuca Fuego – 2025

Description

Zuca Fuego does not deny the pain life brings.
There are moments when it feels as if your hair has caught fire;
when the words you want to say but cannot
burn like a pepper between your lips.

Yet it is precisely in those moments
that resilience is born.
For fire does not only burn, it cleanses, it transforms.

In art, fire has often been a symbol of destruction and punishment.
But in Zuca Fuego, fire becomes a symbol of survival
and the awakening of inner strength.

She whispers to us:

“Do not run from pain.
Carry it on your lips, let it move through your hair —
and in the end, transform it into your own power.”
