Rachel Levit Ruiz invites us into her Mexico City studio to share her process behind the series Body Language, from sketch to gold leaf application.

During a visit to my acupuncturist last year, I complained about a tension I felt in my jaw. He instructed me to massage it every day and to be conscious about grinding my teeth. He ended our visit speculating that 'there is something you are not saying.' That experience ignited the idea for this series and a deeper exploration into the mind/body connection.
