On Lake Atitlán in the highlands of Guatemala, the afternoon wind rises without warning. The Kaqchikel call Her Xocomil, She Who Carries Away. She crosses the water suddenly and with force, gathering what has gone unspoken, unsettled or forgotten. There is a story told on those shores: that the Xocomil watched the young women as they bathed, drawn to their beauty, and that many disappeared beneath the waters. In my painting She sits on the living rock in festive colors, a young woman bathing before Her and bones resting among the stones below. 🕯️ Día de Muertos sale: 25% off the Oracle Cihuatlán, the woman-centered deck I painted, through November 3.
