After the end, I believe we still be happy
This is a series of illustrations that I did for the 2020 CICLA Original Illustration Exhibition, the opening ceremony of which was held successfully on 11th November at Shanghai Baoshan International Folk Arts Exposition Center
This series of artworks follow the life of the average Mexican kids in the year 22XX after a cataclysmic event destroyed Mexican society in 21XX.

The second foundation of Tenochtitlan references the legend of the foundation of Mexico City.

In this version, a couple of kids find the eagle in a destroyed Mexico City, signaling the beginning of a rebuild of the civilization.
