Exhibition text: My intention with this piece was to create a regalia in which it showed my identity and Aztec culture. I wanted to be able to reflect my own identity into Aztec in order to show my deeper roots. This piece was also made to be used and worn for Aztec performances. My inspiration for this piece were Aztec symbols as well as the previous regalia I have worn. The Aztec symbols are directly placed into the work and present all around it. My regalia is shown through the colors as well as fit of the whole piece.
