Este trabajo examina el colapso ecológico del Lago Atitlán, donde la tensión entre el tul y la cianobacteria invasiva refleja la confrontación entre saberes tradicionales y los efectos del progreso económico sin conciencia ambiental. Visibilizando el desequilibrio ecológico que impacta directamente a las comunidades que habitan los alrededores del lago, la obra teje un relato simbólico sobre la responsabilidad compartida frente a la crisis climática.

This work examines the ecological collapse of Lake Atitlán, where the tension between tulle and invasive cyanobacteria reflects the confrontation between traditional knowledge and the effects of economic progress without environmental awareness. By highlighting the ecological imbalance that directly impacts the communities living around the lake, the work weaves a symbolic narrative about shared responsibility in the face of the climate crisis.
