Helen Burgos-Ellis reflects on the presence of eyes in El Árbol de la Muerte, linking them to the work of Isabel Cabanillas, a young activist and artist from Juárez who was murdered. The eyes serve as a symbol of vigilance and resistance—reminding viewers that these acts of violence are being watched and will not be forgotten. The piece is a powerful call to awareness and justice, addressing the silence around gendered violence, especially in Indigenous communities across the Americas.
