In this mural (2019), Lazo reimagines Xibalba—the Mayan underworld—through the lens of the Popol Vuh. The Hero Twins traverse rivers, deities oversee sacrifice and desire, and spirits haunt the sacred landscape. Blending myth and memory, the artist fuses political vision with ancestral wisdom in her final celebration of Maya cosmology.
