Ollin Rotunda Mural, view 2
title Ollin Rotunda Mural, view 2description The Ollin Rotunda Mural, located at the University of Texas, San Antonio, satisfies the requirements of the commission with three components: Texas history, Indigenous history, and science. The central image is the ollin symbol, the Aztec hieroglyph indicating movement and change. It is surrounded by the seven caves, Chicomoztoc, the place of Aztec origins as depicted in the codices. The composition of the seven caves also resembles an abstracted rendering of the dendrites in the human brain. The blue section contains neurons and engrams of the brain. For the scientists who selected the artist's design, the dotted patterns on the surface of the blue field resemble DNA. The concept for the ochre yellow band is derived from ancient Indigenous pictographs at Monte Albán and Maya disks used in the ball courts. This final outer ring includes symbols representing the Pecos River area that borders Texas and Mexico. The colors are inspired by multiple sources, including colors of the Maya manuscript known as the Dresden Codex and colonial ceramics from Puebla, Mexico. This photograph conveys the accurate color scheme of the mural. Acrylic emulsion on plaster.
