Description

MesoMariposa is an exploration of the Toltec and Mexica ancient belief that butterflies are the souls of people who have died. In some stories it was the souls of fallen warriors, who like butterflies and flowers usually lived short lives. In other stories butterflies were souls of women who've died during childbirth, and even those who were sacrificed to the gods in ritual human sacrifices made by some cultures throughout time. The artwork is a mixed media work consisting of 3D sculpture, AI imagine generation, and painted and animated on Procreate.
