Antiguo glifo maya batik en panel de pared de algodón índigo, "Índigo Ti-ka-la"

For her series on Maya glyphs, Grace Guirola includes Ti-ka-la, the glyph that refers to a state of intoxication, usually from alcohol, for ceremonial purposes. The ancient Maya believed that one would be able to communicate with their nahual by getting drunk, and thus be able to see into the future, or understand events that defied explanations, such as illness, bad weather, bad luck, etc. The glyph is expertly replicated with batik techniques on cotton, which Guirola dyes with natural indigo leaves harvested at her family's hacienda.

La obra de arte incluye un tablero donde está escrito el término español para emborracharse, Emborracharse, bajo el nombre maya.
