Of Roots and Frequencies

Artist Statement: Heritage isn’t a costume; it’s a system. This piece treats Latin knowledge as a living protocol. A copper codex holds memory as panels and patterns while a small engraved portrait keeps the human scale. From the base, braided quipu roots branch into daily practice—seed jars, weaving shuttles, molcajetes, and quiet circuit filigree that hints at neighborhood tech. Maize constellations tie agriculture to astronomy. A thin inlay seam leaves repair visible. Culture here routes through kitchens and rooftops, updates across generations, and carries dignity without needing permission. Calmly, precisely, and together.
