project overview
Elevar La Cultura is an immersive sculptural installation featuring a twenty-foot-tall Mayan pyramid built from the objects of everyday hustle—ice coolers reborn as icons and infused with ancestral textiles, sacred symbols, and mural work. The monumental structure is a powerful tribute to the beauty and resilience of immigrant street vendors.
