According to Mayan mythology, the deity Ku Kul Kan is responsible for wind, rain, and life. This imaginative deity originates all life above and below the earth. Represented as a feathered serpent, Ku Kul Kan appears in many stone carvings, such as the Popol Vuh, throughout the Mayan area, and legend states that he is the link between the world of the Gods and humanity. It said that he bestowed humanity with maize and is well-known as a creator and source of creativity and inspiration, which are central themes in Antonio Pichilla's work. In this piece, Antonio represents life's ups and downs through the snake-like figure. The four stones holding down the installation symbolize four women weaving the canvas and, at the same time, represent our ancestors. This artwork reminds us that life is never firm; there will always be difficulties and opportunities, but our faith must always be with Our Creator.
