Artwork description:
Embossed in foamed PVC on 28 x 38 cm cotton paper.
In this artwork the Mexican artist captures the search and protection of the food sovereignty of his country.
E. Robledo uses two endemic elements of Mexico: the corn that is the basis of the Mexican diet and the naked-tailed armadillo, a species that is only found in the center and south of the country.
The artist also refers to the Mexican legend of Popol Vuh, which tells that all men and women come from corn.
