Religious iconography frequently serves as a foundational element in the siblings' creative practice. A recurring motif in their work is the Virgen de Guadalupe, a significant cultural symbol that they often reimagine as a vulva—a shape the artists refer to as the "portal of life," mirroring the contour of her mandorla. This icon, representing both fertility and piety, is situated at the summit of the glasswork, where it acts as a dedicated altar to the feminine.
