Aztec Afterlife Flight Attendant
Subject
LibArt 2025
Description
For this piece, I created an inventory for a character I made up based around Aztec mythology. This character is a flight attendant, bringing souls to the afterlife in the Sun. I was inspired by the gods Huitzilopochtli (hummingbird) and Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent), who both are gods of the sun and afterlife. Throughout the designs of the objects, I have included symbols and imagery from Aztec mythology and culture; reincarnation into hummingbirds, traditional foods and drinks, clothing and patterns, and style of rendering.
