The cross form is a play on mythology, calling back to the geometric patterns at the Mitla temple and Mesoamerican Petroglyphs. A lacerated base rises from the floor, alluding to the metamorphosis of the tree into a human symbol. This base was hand-carved to create the appearance of an upside-down tree stump, citing the process and material used to fabricate wooden crosses found in western theology and religion.

A central shallow divot encourages the creation of unique arrangements and ornamentation. All-natural materials were used for fabrication and varnishing.
