Stake attention in this memory
This image depicts a vibrant mural on an exterior building wall located in San Andrés Cholula, Mexico, under a clear blue sky. The mural is divided into a black section on the left and a predominantly blue section on the right, separated by a thin vertical line. On the blue section of the mural, a large, stylized feathered serpent, resembling Quetzalcoatl, dominates the center-left. It is colored primarily in yellow and blue scales, with red, green, and turquoise accents on its head and feathers. To its right, text in black and red reads: "NOS ENSEÑARON A MIRAR LA HISTORIA DESDE ARRIBA, PERO NUESTRAS RAÍCES SIEMPRE ESTUVIERON DEBAJO, SOSTENIENDO LO QUE NUNCA NOS NOMBRÓ." (They taught us to look at history from above, but our roots were always below, sustaining what they never named us.) Above this, smaller text reads: "DESDE QUE NACEMOS, NOS HA LLAMADO LA ATENCIÓN EXPLICAR EL MUNDO..." (Since we are born, it has caught our attention to explain the world...). On the upper right, a figure with a distinct lucha libre mask adorned with colorful floral patterns is depicted from the chest up, wearing a grayscale striped shirt and a traditional hat. This figure is seated on a dark stool. Above and to the left of this figure, text in red and black states: "HAIGA COMO HAIGA, ESTA LENGUA ES MÍA Y NIMODERRIMO." (However it is, this language is MINE and not modern/I don't let it fall). Yellow zigzag lines are painted behind this figure. Below the main text, several small collage-style elements are visible, including three figures atop abstract blocks, a smiling sun icon, white footprint outlines, and a stylized character labeled "Mi Koatl (Cuate)" (My Serpent/Friend). Partially visible text below these elements reads: "...DE DONDE VENIMOS, DE QUE ESTAMOS HECHOS..." (where we come from, what we are made of...). The black section of the mural on the far left contains white text, mostly obscured but showing phrases like "...es fugaz..." (is fleeting...) and "...el tiempo es..." (time is...). A small section of red, yellow, and blue rectangular patterns borders the feathered serpent image between the black and blue mural sections. Below the mural, a gray concrete retaining wall spans the length of the depicted structure. In the immediate foreground, green grass covers the ground. The top-right corner of a dark, wrought-iron outdoor chair or table is partially visible in the bottom right corner, resting on the grass. The sky above is clear and light blue, indicating daylight.
