Return of Consciousness

This iconic sculpture in Tulum echoes a worldview often associated with the Maya: that what is unseen still lives beneath the surface. Here, the face becomes a metaphor for consciousness, memory, and the moment of reemergence.

Artist: Aaron Glasson and Celeste byers

A symbolic face emerging from silence, memory, and hidden consciousness.
