Xibalba

A luminous chromogenic print by David Benjamin Sherry, *Xibalba* immerses the viewer in a psychedelic landscape saturated with otherworldly color, where nature is transformed into something both primordial and transcendent. Drawing on the Mayan underworld myth suggested by its title, the work evokes a realm between life and death through Sherry's signature manipulation of light and hue. The result is an image that feels simultaneously ancient and hallucinatory, collapsing the boundary between the physical world and the spiritual unknown.
