01 / About the piece
A hidden light.
A quiet presence.
THE HIDDEN MOON
From the Traditional collection
“The Hidden Moon” emerges as a quiet and profound work, a piece protected by the mystery of the night. Through a perfectly symmetrical composition, the artwork brings together the strength of Zapotec culture and the silent presence of the moon, creating a story of sacred harmony in which the four elements breathe in balance.
Each line seems to follow the ancient rhythm of the earth and the sky. The patterns that cover the piece unfold like paths of memory, guiding the eye through a world of movement, silence, and ancestral wisdom. It is an image of contemplation, as though the skull were resting beneath the hidden light of a moon that does not fully reveal itself, yet whose presence can be felt in every detail.
Black, deep and enigmatic, symbolizes the night, the universe, and the ancestral secrets that live within darkness. It is the color of sacred silence, introspection, and the earth that holds memory. Gray, in turn, represents the transition between shadow and light, like mist covering the mountains at dawn or the silvery reflection of the moon upon the sea. Together, black and gray create an atmosphere that is serene, mysterious, and spiritual.

In the Zapotec tradition described by Cabokero, a naturally found cow skull carries profound meaning. Placed in a home, it is believed to act as a guardian, symbolizing protection and harmony for the household and its inhabitants. Found after the animal’s natural death, these skulls are revered as sacred objects associated with balance and tranquility in the home.
