In Guerrero, Mexico, ancestral Meso-Americans see blood and rain as sacred and still perform pre-Hispanic ceremonies: the Chicahualiztli concept refers to the force that circulates among humans, nature, and spirits. This project sought a way to document the rain rituals and sacrifices of these communities while honoring their ban on photography. We combined photography with drawing as a way to explore the layers of the physical and metaphysical — what we can feel but not see — in these rituals, without exposing or violating them.
