Jaguar Skull Jacket

At the heart of the piece lies a jaguar skull—an emblem of primal strength, mysticism, and sacred power in Mesoamerican lore. Stripped of flesh yet brimming with presence, the skull speaks to the duality of life and death, retaining its fierce authority through bared fangs and hollow, unblinking eyes. It watches still. Infused with a bold Pop Art influence, the composition juxtaposes this visceral symbol with vivid red and green tones and stylized floral patterns reminiscent of wallpaper—ornamental, ironic, and distinctly modern. This deliberate contrast between the raw and the decorative creates a layered conversation: between predator and pattern, ancient myth and contemporary aesthetic, death’s finality and design’s eternal loop.
