Description: "For this third temporary exhibition of the series "Una pieza, una cultura" (A piece, a culture), which presents "Xochipilli, the Lord of Flowers", as masterpiece and spokesman for the Mexica culture, it became imperative to approach the flower as a natural and symbolic entity in a eagerness to understand the meaning and messages of the flowers carved in the sculpture of Xochipilli from the culture that created it. At the same time, this effort became a quest to try to unravel some essential notions of the complex Mexica worldview in all the diversity and versatility it harbors through these stone flowers, their strokes and gestures, their beauty and their ambiguity, its naturalism and its mystery." (HKB Translation) --Page 57
Notes: Contains photographs.

Catalog of the exhibition held April through July 2018 at Museo Nacional de Antropología, Mexico City.
