THE PLACE WHERE PATHS END Drawing

In my artistic project, inspired by Maya culture, I embarked on a spiritual journey reconnecting with humanity's primitive roots and nature. "The Place Where Paths End" began at Xar, an art & architecture laboratory, provided by Roger Kanek, my guide into the Maya worldview. I explored a "death drive," a survival instinct lost in modern life, inspired by filmmaker Humberto Mazariegos's vision of death. Sketching in charcoal, I depicted this primal force, influenced by nature's elements. Venturing into Maya culture, I explored Sololá's landscapes, guided by Roger. Nature shaped my work, culminating in a rocky path to the project site, carrying a canvas symbolizing the weight of Holy Week. Inspired by a sacred Maya stone, I interpreted an entity among the undergrowth, merging my friend's vision with the surroundings. "Keme," death, represents a life force renewing our souls, depicted in the work. My Nahual, Iq’, the wind, symbolizes the direction leading to this creation. The piece reflects on Maya glyphs, returning a man-made object to nature for redefinition. "The Place Where Paths End" symbolizes the end of one path and the beginning of another, a journey toward spiritual awakening and infinite renewal.
