The storefront of Watakame Flores Artesanías wears a facade covered in thousands of tiny, multicolored beads arranged into complex, swirling patterns. This shop serves as an urban outpost for the Wixárika people, an Indigenous group from the Sierra Madre mountains. The owner, a Wixárika artist, creates these pieces by pressing beads into beeswax atop wooden figures. Every animal shape or geometric design mirrors a dream or a ceremony from his home community, miles away from the heat of the coast.
