This piece was created for a piñata festival in our east end Houston neighborhood.

It is inspired by Nine Days to Christmas, a children’s book by Aurora Labastida and Marie Hall Ets that my family used to read when I was little.

Ceci selects a beautiful star for her first piñata but is heartbroken with the idea that it will be shattered. She soon learns that the magic of her first posada will mean that the star will become real and watch over her.

It is made of bamboo, custom-knit panels, and vinyl flowers.
