Conexión is not only an interior architecture project created for St George’s Church, but also a concrete example of architecture that supports and encourages a state of coexistence between individuals in the space.
Coexistence, understood as the connections between human beings, is a fundamental theme for LiLeón. Her focus on the Wabi Sabi concept of beauty in decay led her to design a kind of garden inside the church, with leaves falling to the ground or drifting slowly upwards towards the sky. The design was created by leaving numerous fragments of tobacco leaves on the panels to dry, connecting the work to the Caribbean landscape. This connection between the earthly and spiritual realms through the movement of the leaves urges the community towards a greater sense of responsibility for collective spaces and their preservation for future generations.
