Ru k’ ox k’ob’el jun ojer etemab’el (The Echo of an Ancient Form of Knowledge), by Edgar Calel.

These stones are not just stones. These fruits are not just fruits. Together they form altars and become a sacred site for rituals. When placing a fruit or a vegetable atop a stone with the proper intention, these elements become an offering to our ancestors and the land, and a way to thank them for their wisdom, experiences, and guidance.
