The inspiration for her sculpture comes from the Mayan/Pre-Columbian myth of the hummingbird - the crowned courier created by the gods to serve as the messenger between the divine and mortals. Alma invites visitors to interact and connect their own messages to the heavens. 🌺🕊️

La inspiración para su escultura proviene del mito maya/precolombino del colibrí: el mensajero coronado creado por los dioses para servir de enlace entre lo divino y los mortales. Alma invita a los visitantes a conectar sus propios mensajes con los cielos. 🌺🕊

“My mother told me of it once when we were visiting family in Monterrey. I’d spend hours watching Spanish supernatural television waiting for updates and footage of ‘flying humanoids.’ It is a bird-like creature, incredibly tall, and is said to have a flat, human-like face."

I want to tell a story through my large-scale sculpture of the famous legend in Colombia called la “Leyenda de Guatavita”, a myth high up in the mountains of Bogota in a lagoon where one might see a figure through the fog floating on a full moon.”🌕
