Tzompantli, is a fountain developed for a project of an altar of the dead (for the celebration of the Day of the Dead) but unlike traditional altars, this one would be dedicated to the dead women of Juarez, in the form of an art installation.

Tzompantli Dingbats, is a drawing font that as it is written creates a texture of skulls and skulls in the manner of a tzompantli (trophy walls created with skulls of the dead warriors who fought in the flowery wars against the Aztec warriors).
