Millenary cross of arcane root, followed by its many presence in the pre-colonial Andean period, the Chakana, now celebrates Andean heritage as a whole in Peru.
Its surviving name comes from the Quechua word root, [(Chakay):to bridge], it unites all realms between the heavens and the underworld, love, virtues, work. Or, an amassment of self-enlightenment. If it were a person,
now a cross bore within Peruvian populist pride, then now Chicha must be its hymn. Its purpose is to exist intact and one despite evolving through all times and places, trailing through paths between Lima and rural Peru, unifying divorced counterparts. Chicha, a visual language based on longing and emotional split, what happens when it is further pushed to its ethereal side through digitization?
