Raices

This digital mixed-media artwork centers on a delicate handmade pencil drawing of a young Indigenous Mexican woman seated on the ground, quietly selling corn. The graphite lines give the figure a sense of intimacy and humanity: her traditional clothing is rendered with careful shading, while her posture conveys calm dignity and connection to everyday life in rural Mexico. The corn beside her becomes a symbolic element, referencing the deep cultural and spiritual relationship between Mexican ancestral communities and maize.

Surrounding the central drawing, multiple digital layers unfold like fragments of memory and history. Subtle textures and organic patterns emerge in the background, evoking woven fabrics and handmade surfaces. Faded symbols and visual motifs inspired by ancient Mesoamerican codices appear throughout the composition, suggesting echoes of ancestral knowledge and mythology.
