Date: April 2022

Inauguration: As part of the Art With Me Festival
Materials and Info: 8 meters high, made of bamboo and painted wood

In April 2022, Alejandro Glatt unveiled the World’s Largest Papaya at the Ahau Tulum Sculpture Park during the Art With Me Festival. This monumental installation, standing 8 meters high and constructed from bamboo and painted wood, celebrates the papaya—a native Mexican fruit—and its cultural significance. The installation not only serves as a symbol of Mexican heritage but also invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of nature and art.

The project broke the Guinness World Record for the largest papaya sculpture, marking a significant achievement in Alejandro’s career. The choice of materials, bamboo and painted wood, reflects a commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness. This installation is a testament to the power of art to bring communities together, foster cultural pride, and inspire awe through its sheer scale and beauty.
