Unique piece, carved in copal wood, with artificial flowers, completely hand-painted.
Inspiration:
I took the coyote as a reference, an important symbol in Zapotec culture, known for its cunning and intelligence. It is considered a guardian and protector. The coyote possesses a dual nature, being seen both as a trickster and troublemaker, as well as a wise and protective guide. This duality reflects the complexity of human nature and the world.
The Zapotecs believed that the coyote had a special connection with the spiritual world. It was often seen as a mediator between the gods and humans.
Resilience and Adaptability
Coyotes are known for their ability to adapt to different environments and situations. This trait can be compared to how flowers bloom under various conditions, symbolizing resilience and the ability to thrive despite challenges. The coyote represents strength, cunning, and adaptability, while blooming represents delicacy, beauty, and transformation. This duality can symbolize the harmony between inner strength and outer beauty, the coexistence of different qualities that enrich life.
