Día de los Muertos, observed on November 1st and 2nd, is a time when Mexicans believe the souls of their departed loved ones return to visit. Unlike the somber tone often associated with death in many cultures, this celebration is colorful, lively, and filled with fond memories.

In times of loss, finding ways to honor and remember our loved ones can be both healing and comforting. One beautiful and therapeutic way to celebrate the life of someone special is by creating a memory box.

Creating art provides a unique opportunity to externalize our inner experiences of loneliness. Through various mediums, we can give shape and form to emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally.

Art has long been recognized as a powerful tool for self-expression and emotional healing. In my own life, I've found that turning to creative outlets has been an invaluable way to cope with difficult emotions and navigate challenging times.
