MAYA UNDERWORLD

Edgar E. Sacayon 2014


Maya Underworld Photographs from the Candelaria Caves National Park, located in the norhtern part of Guatemala, Central America. The caves are considered sacred to mayan mesoamerican cultures. These are believed to be a gateway to Xibalba, the underworld. The Popol Vuh, the book of mayan creation, narrates how the hero warrior twins, fought the forces of darkness prior to the creation of the universe. Some of the images were created using a modified digital camera, in which the Infrared Filter was removed, thus, allowing to expand the sensitivity of the camera sensor to capture higher frequency light, above 700 nanometers of thelight spectrum. They can be considered as digital infrared photographs. The others are color images converted to black and white.
