This self-portrait, entitled "Coaybay," journeys through the endless dance of creation - birth, life, death, and rebirth. At the heart's core lies a fetus, symbolizing an enlightened consciousness–born of compassion and nourished by the ancestral tears of wisdom. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with all life. The mycelium and mushrooms create a network that bonds the earthly and cosmic realms. At the painting's epicenter, a sacred portal reveals itself, leading to the ancestral realm upon death. This embodies the Indigenous understanding of death as a return into the womb of Mother Earth. The spirits of the artist's grandfather, soaring in the boundless sky, and the father, residing within the artist's chest, endure as guiding and protective forces. "Coaybay" is a celebration of life's cycles, a tribute to our ancestral wisdom, and a testament to our interconnected dance through existence.
