This print belongs to a series related to the Popol Vuh<em>,</em> an ancient Mayan epic that describes the world\u2019s creation. Rather than straightforwardly illustrating the text, M\u00e9rida uses bright, overlapping fields of color and dynamic abstract forms to convey the narrative\u2019s drama and grandiosity. More broadly, the striking image suggests the strength of an indigenous culture unaffected by the European conquerors who had attempted to eradicate it.",
