This black & white, intricately detailed piece depicts an ancient sunrise over a mountainous, Mesoamerican landscape. This is the ancestral home of the ancient Toltec, Mayan, and Aztec civilizations, and is densely covered in jungle foliage.

There are many things to catch the eye here: aleatoric (made by chance) mountains and volcanoes, plants, animals and insects, fossils, fault lines, lava, and people - all under a warm, smiling tropical sun. In true fractal fashion, the mountain range pictured here (which was made by chance from enhancing and modifying an excerpt of a previous work of mine titled "Monstera"), seems to retain many "Central American" aspects from the original, "Monstera" source pen & ink drawing - which itself came from a tracing of a real leaf from a tropical Central American plant called Monstera Deliciosa or Mexican Breadfruit.

The soundtrack is my song titled "As If Our Love Had Never Happened"
