Tsitsimitl

Is a unique mixed-media mask artwork created in 2025 that draws from ancestral symbolism, transformation, and the power of hidden forces. The title references a star demon associated with darkness, eclipses and the new fire ceremony. They were believed to descend to earth and devour humanity if the sun failed to rise or during cosmic instability.

Tsitsimitl by Mitote was fully created and produced by the artist in 2024, reinforcing its position as an original collectible work rather than a decorative object. The piece reflects Mitote’s ongoing exploration of identity, mythology, and cultural memory through contemporary materials and form.
