This work presents the four elements of the Maya worldview, earth, water, fire, and wind, expressed through symbolic writing and the diverse techniques developed by the Maya in jade. The piece showcases methods passed down as cultural heritage, including sgraffito, low and high relief carving, and direct sculpture, all integrated into a single ceremonial form.
The central message of the vessel emphasizes the vital importance of water as a source of life and balance, while honoring the cultural legacy of the Maya ancestors and their profound understanding of the natural and spiritual worlds.
Artist: JUAN ANTONIO CASTELLANOS GARCÍA
