Maruch Sántiz Gómez’s series ‘Beliefs’ pairs photographs with texts written by the artist in Tzotzil, her native language, capturing the poetry of her people and their ways of inhabiting the world. "Secreto para evitar que caigan granizos grandes: se recogen trece granizos y se empiezan a moler en el metate, utilizando como mano de metate el palo de tejer" / "K'uxi ta metz'tael mi oy toj muk'tik yak' li bote: ta jtzobtik oxlajunbej. chich' juch'el ta cho'. ja' no'ox ma'uk sk'ob chtune jalamte' tzk'obin." / "A secret to prevent large hailstones from falling: collect three hailstones and begin to grind then on the grinding stone, using as the stick used for weaving."
