Caged Alebrije
I used to walk by this shop often, and the windows were always closed. But one night, someone was working late, and the windows were open. Inside, I saw something remarkable: an alebrije, one of Oaxaca’s famous fantasy animals. They are usually small, brightly painted creatures made in many workshops across the city. This one, though, stood out—it was unusual because of its size.
