Candelabro (Oaxaca) de Vita Castro pertenece al tema de la exposición de Paisaje y Territorio. Un imponente cactus ancla la composición, en torno a la cual humanos y animales parecen girar, haciendo de aquél un símbolo de sustento y refugio dentro de un paisaje pródigo y tranquilo. Tales imágenes idealizadas con frecuencia esconden las duras realidades de la vida rural.
