January 2, 2026
​
What is the "House of Roses"?
Each year inside the house, the artist, Alece Plasencia, selects a muse—
chosen for spirit, narrative, and cultural resonance.
The muse guides the vision.
The vision becomes the jacket.
The jacket becomes the artifact.
Muse No. 1 will be revealed on January 2, 2026.
The year unfolds in a prologue and four chapters.
