Tectonic Plates Relief – Chiapas

This wooden model brings to life the hidden drama beneath our feet. Layered plywood rises and falls, shaping the Chiapas landscape with its volcano and surrounding terrain, while the sides reveal the restless tectonic plates and molten magma that thread between the rocks.

Above, the sea is suggested through a hinged acrylic panel tinted in deep blue, inviting viewers to lift it and glimpse the waters that hover over the land. The piece becomes a living map, where earth and fire, land and water, meet — a tactile story of the forces that continuously shape our world.
