The Serpent and the Dragonfly

Framework

Ritual of the Bacabs
From darkness emerged
A force that birthed the cosmos
And set life in motion
Unbound by nature
It ignited the universe
Shaping existence
-
First cover it, first cover it then.
I am the great coverer, it seems.
Then I covered the fissure for the great tempest
over the first wooden body, the first stone body.
My large enclosure has thirteen layers.
It covers the opening of the great tempest
over the first wooden body, the first stone body

Détournement & Dada Absurdity as Resistance:

Junk Dada inverts traditional aesthetics through absurd juxtaposition. Tzara’s Dadaist chaos resonates in your recombined visual noise—glitching religious symbols, industrial wreckage, and repurposed colonial imagery. In Debord’s détournement, media is turned against itself: your use of corporate branding, graffiti, and fractured screens transforms capitalist detritus into an Indigenous-coded space.

Mesoamerican Futurism & Speculative Cybernetics:

Instead of Afrofuturism or cyberpunk, your Mesoamerican cybernetic aesthetic proposes an Indigenous-coded speculative future. Lewis et al. frame Indigenous AI as a non-linear, relational intelligence, fitting the way your work merges glyphic knowledge with glitch-based digital decay. Anzaldúa’s borderland aesthetics also play into this—where industrial sprawl and ancient cosmology coexist in a single, unstable horizon.
