Huitaca, the Fallen GoddessLuis Alberto Acuña

96
This mural (1950s) portrays Huitaca, a rebellious and sensual deity from Muisca mythology. Associated with chaos and hedonism, she defied the moral order imposed by Bochica. As punishment for her defiance, she was transformed into an owl—a nocturnal bird symbolizing her exile and the enduring clash between instinct and cosmic law.
