In Chihuahua, Mexico, local rumor has it that this mannequin, known as “Pascualita,” is actually an embalmed body. According to legend, a lady named Pascuala Esparza owned a wedding boutique in the city, making dresses for soon-to-be brides. Her own daughter, Pascualita, was engaged to be married, so Pascuala set about to make her a special dress. Everything was planned when, on the day of the wedding, tragedy struck. Supposedly, Pascualita was bitten by a poisonous insect and later died. Distressed by the death of her daughter, Pascuala set out to immortalize her. She embalmed the body, dressed it in her wedding gown, and propped it up in the window of her boutique, for all to see.
Today, Pascualita remains standing in the window of “La Popular” in downtown Chihuahua. Although commonly regarded to as a myth, the details in the mannequin (especially in the hands) keep onlookers wondering.
Ever get that chill when looking Death straight in the face…?
Have you ever get that feeling of Cowardness, before jumping?
Have you ever felt isolated?
Have you ever felt alone?
Are you dead in life?
Are you afraid of the past? Or the Future?
Uncertain, or Confused?
Fighting a Battle between complete opposites? Ideals vs Resaon?
Life sometimes feels empty, with no reason?
Is Death the Solution? Requiem?
No hopes, no dreams, no motivation to make it through the day?
Still believe in love?
Does being loved make you proud?
Is love so special?
Are you afraid of Society, because Society fears you?
Every anwser is an aspect of you…
