She died on 16 August 2016 after a three-year battle with cancer.[3]
Dialogue de bancas (2006), a bench included as part of a joint public art exhibit on Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City,[3]

Ventana (2013), a collection of windows paned with laser-cut paper,[2][6]
as well as a 2016 calendar combining photos of her artworks with mathematical challenges.[1][4][6][5]
