Showpiece
QUETZALCOATL BROUGHT TO LIFE
The showpiece shows a cocoa tree from South America. In the tree there is a figure of Quetzalcoatl surrounded with leaves, flowers and cocoa beans. My objective is to show the chocolate god as a boundary maker between heaven and earth, who brought the cocoa plant as a gift to mankind.
