Protection Measures

This is an exhibition proposal that starts from a series of popular beliefs and actions that people carry out to feel that they have some control over the events of life, filling themselves with confidence that things will turn out well, that they will be protected from adverse circumstances attributed to a lack of luck. Plants, objects, and body parts of certain animals have been used since ancient times for their various magical properties, and their use as amulets gives the person who places all their faith in these objects and rituals that confidence and protection for their home, their work, in love, as well as the promise of achieving success in games and bets.
