Our Lord of the Flowers by Cesar Torres is a multimedia project that combines the literary novel (arrives as a paperback in 2026) with multiple collections of digital photo art and framed prints that explores consciousness, gender, grief and mysticism through the influence of the Aztec deity Xochipilli. Author and artist Cesar Torres took a few moments to explain the way in which this figure from Aztec myth ignited their creative process.
A reflection on the Aztec god Xochipilli — patron of art, beauty, and sacred ecstasy.
