This project is part of a broader artistic research initiative focused on the visual interpretation of narratives drawn from different cultures and Indigenous traditions.
Based on texts that reflect on the origin of the world, the relationship between humans and nature, and death, the project seeks to translate these imaginaries into a series of graphic works. The proposal begins with the reading and study of a range of cosmological narratives and myths, which are subsequently reinterpreted through drawing and visual synthesis.
The resulting images do not aim to illustrate the texts literally, but rather to create open-ended, symbolic interpretations that evoke imaginary landscapes, transformations, and the relationships between human beings, animals, natural forces, and spiritual elements present in these narratives.
