Yo Jaguar
2019 - 2020 CDMX
The “Yo Jaguar" series emerges from the reinterpretation and redefinition of Mexico's national values through contemporary political and economic perspectives. Meritocracy is a crucial concept in Mexico's founding history, celebrating honest work and honoring those who tirelessly strive to improve their family's conditions and opportunities.
In this series, we revisit the pre-Hispanic history of the ancient Jaguar Warriors, an elite class of soldiers who served as the special forces of the Aztec army. Unlike the Eagle Warriors, who came from noble families, the Jaguar Warriors belonged to a meritocratic social class.
Yo Jaguar takes shape as a set of empowering elements:
The reflection of the self in the face of the Jaguar. / The body bathing in light that protects and takes up space. / The humble seat that bestows rest and dignity.
