The Blue deer and peyote”, inspired by the Huichol legend of the same name, for the Tree of life: Folk art collab collaboration, organized by Julija Jokubauskiene and The Cake Collective

A little late but I want to share with you my piece, a modeling in relief on a polystyrene plate and hand-painted details.

🦌The Blue deer and peyote🌱

This legend tells us how four young people who represented the four elements undertook a journey to search food because the Wixarika town suffered from disease and hunger.
That was how a mystical blue deer, whom they called Kauyumari showed them the peyote, a plant that shone like the sun and that cured the hunger that an entire town suffered, becoming a sacred food.
This is why the Wixarika people today are a sanctuary of ecology and sacred respect for Mother Nature.
