Our tears hold beauty and power. They are emotive, can be cathartic, regulate our bodies and help return it to its normal state. They are also cleansing, purifying, and can aid healing. These delicate, dangling tears are hung from grape vines harvested from Acadian Winery. Created from onions in a process called vegetable papyrus. The tear shaped “papers" are individually, cooked, sliced thin, and pressed dry to reveal intricate and beautiful patterns. Like the tears that also cleanse, purify, and can aid healing, each one is unique. They are embellished with beads, metal leaf, glitter glue, and ephemeral, evocative of the flowers, candles, photos, and other ephemera that are often left at an altar or memorial site.
