JP Huitzilopochtli (Fallen Warrior)

A haunting and evocative work by Terrence Koh, *JP Huitzilopochtli (Fallen Warrior)* draws on the iconography of the Aztec god of war and sun, Huitzilopochtli, reframing ancient myth through a contemporary and deeply personal lens. The piece meditates on themes of sacrifice, defeat, and the cyclical nature of power, invoking the spiritual weight of a fallen deity rendered vulnerable and human. Koh's characteristically ritualistic sensibility transforms the subject into a meditation on mortality, identity, and the sacred.
