This artwork is a work of indigenous futurism. Inspired by the Nierika, a sacred technology of the Wixárika community, of which Edgar is a descendant. Nierikas are maps of the universe and are used as divining tools that help facilitate ancestral communion and transcendental experiences. Not only are Nierika used for locating oneself within the world, they are also used to create cosmologies, ontologies, and, in essence, reality itself. kïïka, which translates to “come closer” or to “cuddle up”, features a maximalist blend of personal and collective symbols, geometric shapes, and vibrant colors, combined with references to internet subcultures, abstract art, digital decay, and glitch aesthetics.

This artwork was curated into the exhibition LIFELIKE: Exploring Body Sovereignty in Web3 at Vellum LA by Katie Peyton Hofstadter.
