Quetzalcóatl

“A tree can be leafy and luxuriant, or dry and twisted, but both possess a dramatic beauty…” said Álvarez Bravo to Teresa del Conde (interview for the catalogue Mucho Sol, INBA, 1989). This seems to describe his photograph Quetzalcóatl, which shows a tree with a twisted trunk, covered in foliage, whose form resembles the Aztec’s representation of the feathered serpent.
