Description: Herencia Totem is a collection of functional art pieces that transforms overlooked resources into stackable narratives. By reclaiming fashion offcuts, damaged garments, and other discarded textiles, each piece sheds light on consumer patterns, material histories, and the hidden value within remnants. These reclaimed materials are cast into sculptural yet functional side tables and stools—individual statements that, when stacked, form striking totemic compositions.

Each piece captures a “frozen moment in time,” preserving textile histories while embracing the unpredictable nature of material transformation. As binding agents and textiles are layered, they develop distinct tactile and visual qualities—some areas becoming smooth and solid, almost stone-like, while others retain rich textures that expose the fibers' past lives. No two pieces are alike; patterns and colors emerge in unexpected ways, offering a depth and vibrancy that make each object a singular expression of its materials.

Rooted in Puerto Rican folklore and cultural symbols, the collection reinterprets traditional forms into abstract, contemporary expressions. The name Herencia—Spanish for heritage—and Totem, a symbolic marker, reflect the essence of the collection: a tribute to the craftsmanship, labor, and stories embedded in everyday textiles, now reimagined as bespoke, collectible objects.

Whether used individually as furniture or stacked into a sculptural statement, Herencia Totem is an ongoing exploration—inviting reflection on the past while shaping new narratives for the present through material and form. Each piece is a testament to transformation, meant to be admired, collected, and reinterpreted over time.
