CEMENTERIO MEXICANO
 
 
Built on a terraced hill with 365 tombstones, this cemetery combines Mayan symbols such as sacred ceiba trees, water (origin of life) and conch shells (for communicating with the gods) with Catholic shrines, crucifixes and rosaries. The inclusion of personal references such as boats, bottles, pipes, horns, etc. along with bright splashes of color give this resting ground a very distinct personality.  Construida en una colina en terrazas con lápidas 365, este cementerio combina símbolos mayas, como los árboles de ceiba sagrada, el agua (origen de la vida) y caracoles (para comunicarse con los dioses) con santuarios católicos, crucifijos y rosarios. La inclusión de referencias personales, tales como botes, botellas, tubos, cuernos, etc, junto con toques brillantes de color dan a este suelo en reposo una personalidad muy distinta.
