David Ordoñez Lacayo

Ancestors in Motion

$160.00

Ancestors in Motion reinterprets a vintage wooden shoe mold as a layered work of cultural memory. Painted with rich tones of green, orange, and violet, this piece features raised metallic symbols—figures, birds, and abstract forms—that evoke Mesoamerican glyphs or ancestral guardians. Each element appears intentionally placed, turning a utilitarian form into an artifact of visual storytelling.
The textured surface and contrasting media suggest movement and continuity—threads of tradition that evolve but never disappear. Whether displayed on its own or paired with other works from Lacayo’s series, this sculpture adds color, depth, and conversation to any fine art collection.
