Object
Ceramic Plate
A white ceramic plate, roughly eight inches in diameter, sits among the meal remnants on the patio table. Its glazed surface reflects the morning light as Mirabel lifts it to reveal the stacked food— tamales, rice, and beans—piled high by Dolores. The plate’s simple craftsmanship contrasts with the tension gripping the family, its presence a mundane witness to the unraveling Madrigal façade.
