Huey Tozoztli marks the start of the rainy season in Mexico. It’s when we ask the maize to grow and invite the Lords of Maize to return—to walk among us and bless us with their presence.

This painting shows a nahual—a shape-shifting figure from Indigenous Mexican tradition—transforming into a jaguar to bring rain and maize. Inspired by the ancient murals of Cacaxtla, and rooted in Chicano, Mexica, and Native identity.

6 Death speaks of silence, memory, disappearance, and return. Of death, and rebirth. The white body is an offering to the Moon’s light—a reflection of her path across the night sky, and a gesture of reverence.
