Ixchel is a mural by Margot inspired by the urgent issue of eutrophication in the cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula. Named after the girl who modeled for the piece, the mural turns her face into a quiet but powerful symbol of fragility, water, and ecological awareness.
Artist: @margary_art
A portrait shaped by water, vulnerability, and the growing crisis affecting the cenotes.

Part of a series exploring the relationship between the human body and water, these works by Old Hues translate the scientific process of eutrophication into a visual and emotional experience.
Figures emerge and dissolve within layers of vegetation and shifting light, reflecting the stages of an ecosystem in transformation. What begins as clarity and oxygen gradually turns into density, obstruction and loss of balance. Leaves and organic forms become both presence and interruption, suggesting the slow invasion of algae and the disappearance of light beneath the surface.
Rather than illustrating the phenomenon directly, the works embody it. The body becomes a vessel, experiencing the tension between breath and suffocation, control and surrender. These paintings move between beauty and discomfort, pointing to a fragile equilibrium—one that exists not only in water, but within ourselves.
