ABOUT THIS PIECE

Quetzalcoatl was an Aztec (Mexican) creator god, who was also the patron of rain. His name means Feathered Serpent in Nahuatl, the Aztec language, and he was depicted as a combination of the green quetzal bird and a serpent. Last year in my homeland, there was a drought...so I was thinking in Quetzalcoatl hoping my thoughts reached him and old stories about our creations will somehow return the rain. - Emirette Alonso
