Sobre el artista en sede

Within the framework of the Biennial's central theme, ‘The World Tree’, Erick Boror develops a site-specific project that pays poignant homage to the culture of his ancestors. His installation consists of a monumental tapestry woven with corn plants in their four traditional colors, whose red roots unfurl throughout the space. Inspired by the Popol Vuh, Where corn represents the essence of human existence and a symbol of life, death and rebirth, Boror draws on this sacred symbolism to honor Mayan cosmology and reflect a universal narrative of growth and regeneration that resonates across cultures.
