La Coaxoch

Coaxoch is a Nahuatl name meaning “serpent flower,” combining the words coa (serpent) and xochitl (flower). It reflects the beauty and symbolism of nature deeply rooted in Aztec culture, where both the serpent and the flower hold powerful, layered meanings. The serpent represents transformation, resilience, and a connection to both earth and spirit, while the flower symbolizes life, beauty, and the fleeting yet sacred nature of existence. Together, Coaxoch embodies duality: strength and softness, danger and grace, the earthly and the divine.

As a sculpture, Coaxoch embodies these qualities through her form and style. She wears a denim skirt and top, grounding her in everyday life, while a whale tail peeks through, adding an unapologetic touch of playfulness and rebellion. Her bright red boots stand out boldly, symbols of both power and flair, while her beautiful braids connect her to tradition and ancestry, echoing the strength and care that are woven into her cultural identity. On her arm rests a sacred heart tattoo, a symbol of devotion, love, and passion, tying together spiritual reverence with personal expression. Every detail of her stance and style radiates personality: confident, modern, and rooted in heritage.

In this way, Coaxoch is not only a name but a living presence in sculpture; a fusion of cultural symbolism and contemporary self-expression. She bridges past and present, weaving together sacred history with the fun, unapologetic boldness of individuality. Like the serpent flower she is named after, Coaxoch blossoms with resilience and beauty, carrying both tradition and attitude in perfect balance.
