Cultural Significance
The color palette is a reference to the colors
used in Aztec art, the cream represents the stone
carvings, red represents divine power, green
represents the art and blue is used for the final
book as an inversion of the color palette to
hold the controversial contents. The geometric
motif is derived from the details of the Aztec
Calendar. The final book contains a deconstructed version of the calendar to represent ruins.
