Jaguar Idol – Altar Tolita

Projection mapping over sculpture

Altar Tolita is a projection mapping work created on a ceramic sculpture, inspired by an archaeological piece from the Tolita culture on the coast of Manabí, Ecuador. It portrays the jaguar shaman, a figure embodying the spirituality and cosmic worldview of a people that stands out on the Pacific coast for representing the jaguar as a sacred symbol rather than a bellicose one.

The work has been exhibited in Quito, New York, Paris, and Berlin.
