Flower of Jade
Las culturas nahua del México antiguo tenían que in xochitl in cuicatl, flor y canto, la poesía, la palabra inspirada era lo único que perduraba porque decía verdad. CHALCHIHUIXOCHITL, FLOR DE PIEDRA VERDE, FLOWER OF JADE es un intento de captar las verdades de nuestro tiempo y nuestro mundo a través de una aproximación del lente de la sensibilidad y percepción de nuestros antepasados nahuas.
